Concrete butchers

Chlorides in concrete can be washed away when concrete is sawn by employing water as lubricant. For this reason, we took some samples and sawn them in dry conditions. The experiment had an overall success, but the environmental conditions were the problem. It was really cold outside!

Chloride penetration fronts and profiles are about to be assessed from the sawn slices of concrete containing chlorides. Results will come soon.

Until next time.
