Characterization and deterioration detection of portland cement concrete using ultrasonic waves

An experimental study was conducted to characterize Portland cement concrete (PCC), to detect deterioration induced by freeze/thaw and alkali-silica reaction, and to detect chloride presence in PCC using ultrasonic waves. The experimental program was initiated to investigate the effect of water to c...
