Assessment of Chloride Content in Plaster in Residential Buildings
Abstract: This study investigated the impact of chloride on building as per the age. Concrete samples were collected from buildings of different ages to measure chloride concentration. Findings revealed that chloride content increased with building age, potentially leading to decreased strength and damage. The research identified a significant concern of chloride-induced corrosion in older buildings, as chloride concentration increased with building age. To enhance the durability and safety of aging structures, …
