Internal Curing of High-Performance Blended Cement Mortars (2007, methodology): “4, depercolation has been observed to occur between 3 d and 7 d of saturated curing.(12) Thus, further LTC scans were conducted for the FA system over curing times beyond 3 d, and as shown in Figure 3, depercolation was observed to occur between 5 d and 7 d of saturated curing.”
Using pore parameters to estimate permeability or conductivity of concrete (2007, methodology): “[39] was used to determine the conductivity of the pore solution from the concentrations of hydroxyl, potassium and sodium ions.”
Electrical conductivity of drying cement paste (2007, methodology): “In reality, however, the equivalent conductivity (k) decreases slightly with increasing ions concentrations due to ion‐ion interactions [ 25 ].”
Performance-based design and carbonation of concrete with high fly ash content (2011, background): “Furthermore, the cement hydration at ambient relative humidity is slowed down by drying and consequently the production of carbonatable products is lowered [27].”
Effect of seawater for mixing and curing on structural concrete (2010, background): “Therefore, in cases where concrete is subjected to a highly severe environment, the cement must supply alkalinity (Gani 1997).”
