Abstract:
Discusses the influence of admixed calcium chloride on the phase composition of cement mortars and the resulting effect on the corrosion of embedded steel fiber reinforcement. Specimens of steel fiber reinforced calcium chloride modified mortars were subjected to x-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and scanning electron microscopy to determine CaCl2 influence on porosity, physicomechanical properties, phase composition of mortar, and reinforcement corrosion.
