the short-term effects of sodium sulfate and sodium chloride concentrations on
the strength and durability characteristics of hardened mortars. For this aim,
a comprehensive experimental campaign was conducted on 16 groups of mortar
specimens, which were produced with and without reinforcing bars and cured in
different environments such as air, water, sodium sulfate and sodium chloride
solution. The 12 groups of the specimens, which were produced without
reinforcing bars, were then subjected to flexural strength, compressive
strength, unit weight, volumetric water absorption, capillary water absorption,
ultrasound velocity and length change tests weekly between 7th and 77th days.
The remain 4 groups of the specimens, which were produced with reinforcing
bars, were then subjected to corrosion activity tests. The destructive and
nondestructive test results showed that the specimens were produced with high
water/cement ratio and then exposed to NaCl and Na2SO4 concentration has lower
strength and durability characteristics than that of the specimens produced
with normal water/cement ratio were exposed or not exposed to NaCl and Na2SO4
concentration. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={10}, publisher={Osman SAĞDIÇ}
