Title: Research on the degradation of concrete: A planned approach

Abstract

Degradation of concrete from reaction with agrichemicals is a problem which will become more significant as fertilizer dealers are required to increase their use of loading pads and secondary containment structures. National Fertilizer and Environmental Research Center (NFERC) has initiated research to determine degradation mechanisms and develop preventative measures to extend the useful life of concretes which come into contact with agrichemicals. This paper outlines the research program including procedures used to assure the quality of results and presents research results to date.
