Abstract
The paper discusses the basic criteria for evaluating the ability of porous aggregate concretes to protect steel reinforcement from corrosion in enclosure wall structures for long periods. A method for evaluating the influence of aggregate hydraulic activity on passivation capacity of concrete and a formula for calculation of critical cement content in it are proposed. Presented is the data on the 15-year-old service of wall panels in which was achieved structural protection from excess moistening in industrial buildings, as well as research results of equilibrium moisture in concretes made with different types of aggregate. The data is used as a basis for developing durable single-layer structures. (A)
