Concrete Durability Metrics for Sulfuric Acid and Sewage Environments

27 binary and ternary cementitious mixtures were tested across 486 specimens to evaluate degradation beyond mass loss. The study identifies four limitations of current mass-based standards, including the Slag Anomaly and Sewage Anomaly. Authored by Hatem Affes and shared under CC-BY-4.0, the dataset was last updated on 2026-05-03.

Use Cases

• Evaluating residual flexural strength as a durability metric based on the study's proposal
• Comparing degradation kinetics between accelerated (5%) and realistic (1%) acid environments based on the Non-Linear Scaling finding
• Assessing the performance trade-offs of extended curing for different pozzolan blends based on the Maturation Conflict

Strengths

• Includes data from 27 distinct cementitious mixtures
• Based on a total of 486 physical specimens
• Explicitly identifies four specific limitations of current industry standards

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data freshness should be verified as the last update is in the future (2026-05-03)
