accordance with regulations/procedures<br />

• From de-icing salt, sea or other salty source.<br />

• Deterioration due to sulfatic acids or materials<br />

• Reaction between the carbon dioxide in the air<br />

and the lime in the building material.<br />

Reduction of the concrete's ability to protect<br />

the rein<strong>for</strong>cement against corrosion.<br />

• When calcium is washed out of the concrete<br />

and deposits as lime on the surface.<br />

• Freeze/thaw cycles that may cause sl'all ing.<br />

Happens normally with porous conc rete.<br />

• Wearing or grinding away of surface material<br />

by water or traffic<br />

• C.g. fungi, maggots<br />

• e.g. acids etc.<br />
