“…As can be seen in Table 3, the two fly ashes used in the study consist of significant amounts of SO 3 and CaO; the aforementioned chemical compounds present in the form of anhydrite and lime, respectively. It is worth noting that the elevated content of free CaO causes soundness problems in concrete as well as significant temperature increase, (Schlorholtz, 1998). At the same time, high amounts in sulfate ions cause concrete expansion (Zhang et al, 2013), (Ramezanianpour et al, 2020), (Chen et al, 2020).…”

This work is an extensive experimental study on the corrosion behavior of reinforced cementitious mortars containing industrial byproducts and waste materials. In particular, calcareous (C-class) fly ashes, iron mill scale and Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide (E.M.D.) waste were used as additives in mortars production. The abovementioned materials were used without any prior treatment or management and replaced the cement in concrete mixing by 10% wt. of cement weight. For the experimental set-up, reinforced mortars were prepared and exposed to coastal area for 12 months, while some of them were remained in a salt spray cabin for 60 days. The corrosion monitoring was performed by electrochemical and mass loss measurements, while chloride content, porosity, carbonation and mineralogy of mortars were also estimated. The results indicate, that there is a development in durability and chloride penetration resistance of composites comparing with the conventional mortars at late ages. At the same time, it was also observed that their chemical composition and fineness, control the diffusion of CO2 into the pore system and lead to increased carbonation of composite mortars. The challenge of this work is the production of eco-friendly composites with high chloride and carbon dioxide penetration resistance.
