Abstract
Corrosion of concrete can lead to reduction of engineering properties such as strength, elastic modulus and durability and it may happen due to a number of various physical, chemical, and physic-chemical factors and their interactions reflecting peculiarities of both material aspects and external factors. In the paper, investigation of concrete specimens where the fly ash replacement was 10 wt% of cement content and they were exposed to aggressive environment of aluminium sulphate during the five 7-day cycles is presented. The leached-out masses of the Ca, Si, Fe, Al, Mn, and Cu, measured at the end of each cycle as well as pH values measured during different time period are published. Paper deals with the possibilities of investigation of deterioration parameters (chemical elements concentration, pH) of fly ash-based concrete specimens by correlation analysis. The correlation analysis confirmed the different leaching rate of calcium and silicon. However, the high mutual correlation was found between leaching of the silicon, iron, cuprum, aluminium and manganese.
