Diffusivity of Chloride Ion in Mortar Cubes Made Using Ordinary Portland and Portland Pozzolana Cements
(2014)Cement is subject to degradation by aggressive media. This study investigated chloride diffusivity in mortar made from Kenyan cements which included three brands of Ordinary Portland Cements (OPC) and three brands of ... -
Diffusivity of Sulphate Ion in Selected Ordinary Portland and Portland Pozzolana Cements Mortar
(Kenya Chemical Society, 2014)Cement is subject to degradation by aggressive media. This study investigated sulphate diffusivity in mortar made from selected Kenyan cements which included three brands of Ordinary Portland Cements (OPC) and three ... -
Influence of Lysinibacillus sphaericus on compressive strength and water sorptivity in microbial cement mortar
(Elsevier, 2019-11)Cement structures are subject to degradation either by aggressive media or development of micro/macro cracks which create external substance ingress pathways. Microbiocementation can be employed as a self-intelligent solution ... -
