The collapse of Champlain Towers South in South Florida was a shock to the world. Factors such as oxidation, chloride, and sulfate attack can pose a threat to the safety of structures.
The collapse of the Champlain Towers South condominium in South Florida shocked the world. Many families lost loved ones or are still holding their breath.

Cementitious materials - not least their reinforcements - are prone to aerobic oxidation, followed by chloride and sulfate attack. These processes jeopardize structures, particularly those exposed to air and seawater.
