TL;DR: The use of silica-rich SCMs influences the amount and kind of hydrates formed and thus the volume, the porosity and finally the durability of these materials.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the chloride binding of portland cement pastes were investigated. And the binding relationships were best described by the Freundlich isotherm and binding coefficients were given for all the binders tested.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of different binding relations on the time-dependent chloride penetration profiles is investigated by solving the chloride mass conservation statement with a finite-difference approach, and the implication of accounting for chloride binding in service life estimations is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the current common methods for determining chloride penetrability of concrete and discussed the influence of basic properties of concrete on its chloride penetraterability, as well as the theoretical background of what influences the penetration of chlorides into concrete.

TL;DR: The results of a series of tests of the physical properties and durability of pastes, mortars, and concretes made with silica fume replacements for part of the portland cement were presented in this paper.
