CHEMICAL ATTACK

It is a common enough occurrence for acids handled in industrial structures to spill on to concrete structural elements.The problem gets accentuated when these acids combine with calcium compounds present in hydrated cement to cause concrete disintegration.The problem is not limited to just acids, even salts such as chlorides and nitrates cause concrete deterioration and also affect the reinforcements inside concrete.Another chemical reaction concerns sulphates, particularly those present in sub-soils that are known to cause expansion and subsequent deterioration of concrete.
