“…De Jong [8] reported that an addition of fly ash in general reduces the general pore size, which is consistent with findings by Zhuqing & Guang [22], where the relative critical pore size of cement paste blended with fly ash is smaller than for reference cement paste after 90 days of curing and onwards. Setina et al [23] reported similar conclusions where the use of micro silica as a SCM reduced the total pore volume and also an overall smaller pore size compared to a reference concrete.…”

“…Accordingly, an additive, that repels water droplets (hinders free transport -clogging the pores) from the concrete surface, may also have a direct effect of the permeability or diffusion rate within the concrete [8].…”

“…It was noted that building materials of geometrical differences could associate with different radon emanation rates. In comparison with other common building materials, the radon emanation rates of the tested partition materials samples were slower (Al‐Jarallah, 2001; Al‐Jarallaha et al , 2001; Carrera et al , 1997; Chao et al , 1997; Gao et al , 2002; Jong et al , 1996; Keller et al , 2001; Stoulos et al , 2003; Yeung, 1996; Yu, 1994; Yu et al , 1995). In contrast, the radon emanation rates of a concrete block and two typical granite slabs (granite‐I and granite‐II) they were found to be 8.7, 13.4 and 0.58 Bq m −2 hr −1 respectively in a small chamber (Chao et al , 1997).…”

“…In an indoor environment, building construction materials are a major emission source of radon. Therefore, selection of the building materials is one of the primary concerns regarding radon level control for the indoor environment (Al‐Jarallah, 2001; Al‐Jarallaha et al , 2001; Carrera et al , 1997; Chao et al , 1997; Gao et al , 2002; Jong et al , 1996; Keller et al , 2001; Stoulos et al , 2003; Yeung, 1996; Yu, 1994; Yu et al , 1995).…”

“…For fly ash a reduction of 30-35 % could be shown compared to the reference concrete. [8] Reported that an addition of fly ash in general reduces the general pore size. [9,10] reported similar conclusions where the use of fly ash and micro silica as a SCM reduced the total pore volume and also an overall smaller pore size compared to a reference concrete.…”
