This presentation will explain how destructive processes caused by water and physical forces, such as abrasion and erosion, can be prevented by employing integral hardening admixtures and reactive crystalline waterproofing technologies.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore concrete durability and the four key factors that affect it
- See how reactive crystalline waterproofing technologies can protect concrete
- Determine how integral hardening admixtures mitigate the damage from physical forces
- Find out how durability enhancing technologies can improve concrete construction
- Analyze the many other different solutions durability enhancing technologies can provide
