Durable concrete is the one that will retain its original form, quality, and serviceability for a long time when exposed to its environment.
The fundamental factor in creating durable concrete is the use of pozzolans and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) and chemical admixtures in combination with portland cement, and the proper selection of aggregate (proportion, hardness, grading, shape, size, and phase composition). The best means of maximizing the probability that concrete will be durable is to produce concrete that will provide the desired service for the desired service life in the environment in which it will be placed and used.
Durability of hydraulic-cement concrete is defined as its ability to resist weathering action, chemical attack, abrasion,or any other process of deterioration. Durable concrete will retain its original form, quality, and serviceability when exposed.
There is no unanswered question.
Yes what you said is right. Durable concrete is the one that will retain its original form , quality , and serviceability for a long time when exposed to its environment.
