Our experience is your guarantee The Fassa Bortolo tradition stretches back to 1710. Passed down from generation to generation, it has constantly evolved, standing out for innovations which have made an essential contribution to the sector. In Italy, it was the first company to introduce premixed lime and cement plasters for all types of building work. And it was the first to develop silo technology, the product supply system which revolutionised work on site. Today it is a sector leader, a reference point for everyone working in the building industry: designers, dealers and the builders themselves....

Deterioration of CONCRETE Concrete Concrete is a mixture of hydraulic binder (cement), aggregate (sand and gravel), water and additives. The aggregate represents the load-bearing skeleton of concrete, while the cement, upon hydration with water, acts as a binder, making the mixture very strong and compact and in many ways similar to rock. Easy to mix, fast to lay, concrete is currently one of the most commonly used construction materials. Nonetheless, from a performance point of view, good compressive strength of concrete does not correspond to likewise good tensile strength. Indeed, while concrete...

Factors that affect the durability of concrete For many years, it was thought that concrete could last forever; unfortunately, this isn’t true, being a material with problems that affect its strength over time. In fact, if not suitably protected, concrete can be attacked by the salt in seawater and in the air near the coast, by acid from industrial emissions, by carbonatation; it also suffers from variations in temperature and, in particular, is vulnerable to frost. Furthermore, as regards reinforced concrete, the steel used for the bars, if not well protected by a suitable layer of concrete...

Mechanisms in deterioration of CONCRETE The growing expertise on the subject, the increasingly effective metering of the various ingredients that go into concrete, and the use of special chemical additives now ensure very good durability. Nonetheless, failure to heed just one of the parameters needed to achieve an optimum product will mean that, in an aggressive environment, deterioration mechanisms will be triggered such as to compromise durability; these mechanisms can be classified as chemical, physical and mechanical. • CHEMICAL DETERIORATION The main form of chemical attack comes from the...
