Abstract

Many concrete dams, and other concrete structures within the hydropower industry are old and in a more or less severe state of degradation. Leaching is, together with freeze-thaw, the most common degradation problem in Swedish hydraulic concrete structures. This report contains a literature survey of concrete leaching, and presents the results of an experimental determination of leaching.
