โฆ Synopsis
For a study of the growth of corrosive layers on concrete and mortar by thin section microscopy a method has been developped allowing to measure their original thickness in the aqueous liquid. The method is based on the use of plaster of Paris as an embedding material. A detailed description of the procedure is followed by examples of results.

Tests were carried out on mortar and concrete to determine whether the fracture toughness depends upon the length of the crack front. Notched beams were prepared with a constant length of 203.2 mm and depth of 50.8 mm, but with the width (length of crack front) varying from 45 to 254 mm. They were t
Once corrosion of reinforcing steel has been initiated, the internal relative humidity and electrical resistivity of the concrete cover are two of the factors controlling active corrosion. To determine this influence, simultaneous measurements of corrosion rate, electrical resistivity and internal r
