Bacterial carbonate precipitation improves the durability of cementitious materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of bacterial carbonate precipitation (biodeposition) on the durability of mortar specimens with different porosity was assessed from the permeation properties and resistance towards degradation processes.

Effect of silica fume on pore structure and chloride diffusivity of low parosity cement pastes
Min-Hong Zhang,Odd E. Gjørv +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of silica fume on pore structure and diffusivity of low porosity cement pastes was investigated and the results showed that a 10% replacement of the cement with silica-fume only reduced the total porosity to a small extent, while a refinement of the pore size distribution took place in such a way that the content of larger pores was reduced for decreasing w/c ratio.
