Many Engineering Issues are Actually Mineralogical Issues
{"Image DocumentName": "Many Engineering Issues are Actually Mineralogical Issues", "Image ImageDescription": "Problems with Portland cement concretes are usually resolved by the band aid engineering fixes. e.g. Use of calcium nitrite, silanes, cathodic protection or stainless steel to prevent corrosion. Use of coatings to prevent carbonation. Crack control joins to mitigate the affects of shrinkage cracking. Plasticisers to improve workability. Portlandite and water are the weakness of concrete. TecEco remove Portlandite it and replacing it with magnesia which hydrates to Brucite. The hydration of magnesia consumes significant water.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
