Salt Attack, Durability and Service Life of Concrete Structures
The chapter in this book presents concepts on the durability of concrete structures directly relating to deterioration due to the attack of chloride and sulfate salts. The matter becomes necessary due to the aggressive conditions that the structure may be exposed to. In the case of sulfates, these can be present in soils, acid rain, sewage and the sea. Marine environments, on the other hand, are mainly responsible for the penetration of chlorides in concrete, another situation is the free chloride that can be present in the concrete mass and react when in large quantities. We covered the operation of chloride attack and sulfate attack, the calculation models and related life prediction and some recent studies to understand the behavior of buildings in the long term. This study becomes relevant for understanding the deterioration mechanisms that compromise durability.
