Influence of the relative molecular mass of viscosity enhancers on chloride diffusion in mortars: a preliminary study

Chloride diffusion in concrete is one of the key parameters of durability design for structure. Existing methods of reducing the chloride diffusion such as decreasing water-cement ratio and adding mineral admixtures often lead to increase the risk of concrete cracking. In this study, we focused on mitigating the permeation of chloride ions in...
