New paper from RILEM TC 298-EBD
 
Supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) play a crucial role in the roadmap for reducing CO2 emissions. With this in mind, RILEM Technical Committee 298-EBD was established in 2020 to evaluate the durability of blended cement pastes against deleterious ions. Members of this TC have just published an OPEN ACCESS review on the methods for measuring chloride diffusivity in SCM. This paper is part of a Topical Collection.
