Corrosion Behavior of Steel Embedded in Ternary Concrete Mixtures

The main reason for the premature failure of reinforced concrete structures is corrosion of the reinforcements. The use of new mortars based on ternary mixtures, an alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC), requires extensive research in order to check its passivating properties for reinforcements and the instability or permanence of the passive state achieved. Pozzolans and slag extend the market for concrete by improving specific...
