Nilüfer Özyurt Zihnioğlu leading new BAP P Coded Project: The effects of seawater on the sulfate resistance of cement-based materials when used as the mix-water

Nilüfer Özyurt Zihnioğlu was recently granted a new BAP P Coded Project. The project will be completed in 2 years. Research assistant Olcay Gürabi Aydoğan and MSc student Alphan Ali Dilber will be carrying out the experimental work. Within the scope of the study, potable water as mixing water and sea water with 3 different salinity ratios will be used in cement-based materials together with the addition of metakaolin. The effects of these parameters on sulfate resistance, which is an important issue in terms of durability, will be examined by making necessary experiments and micro-structural analyses.
