Resistance of Surface Layers of Concrete against Aggressive Environment

The article deals with the corrosive effects of acids on the selected surface layers of concrete with/ without an epoxy coating. Concrete sample was placed in extreme environments, which represented the 40% sulphuric acid solution. In addition to measuring surface degradation of concrete, this work focused on the depth of acid penetration into the sample. It can be concluded that the long-term effects of aggressive environments severely degrades the concrete surface on the samples causing corrosion of Type II.
