What is it about?
This research includes an examination of enhancing the effectiveness and function of concrete when exposed to sulfuric acid. It explores the use of waterproofing (WP) and complementary cementitious materials (SCMs), including silica fume, nanosilica, and fly ash, as well as a water-reducing additive.

Why is it important?
The results from reduced permeable voids due to decreased capillary pores, enhancing concrete durability. The findings also indicated that the impact of exposure to acid on the strength characteristics of concrete becomes more pronounced with prolonged exposure.
Perspectives
The inclusion of NS, SF, and FA in cement concrete results in the development of a unique material that can meet the growing need for construction materials. Furthermore, this technique delivers economic and environmental benefits by minimizing pollution caused by waste products such as FA and SF, which are residual by-products of thermal power plants and ferrosilicon production, respectively.
