ABOUT THE INTRODUCTION OF CEMENTS WITH ADMIXTURES

PROBLEMS ARISING FROM THE SPONTANEOUS CORROSION OF THE STEEL REINFORCEMENTS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE MADE FROM CEMENTS HAVING ADMIXTURES ARE DISCUSSED. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES ON THE RESULTS OF THIS PHENOMENA ARE GIVEN, MEASUREMENTS OF THE POTENTIALS OF THE MORTAR SPECIMENS, PREPARED FROM HOMEMADE CEMENTS ARE QUOTED. NECESSARY AND POSSIBLE METHODS OF AVOIDING SPONTANEOUS CORROSION PHENOMENA ARE SUGGESTED. /AUTHOR/
