1 18. Durability studies carried out in the present investigation in ordinary grade and standard, through acid attack test with cubes immersed in 5% H2SO4 and 5% HCL indicates that bacterial is more durable in terms of Acid Durability Factors than conventional and also bacterial is less attacked in terms of Acid Attack Factors than conventional. 19. The Charge Deterioration Factors in ordinary grade and standard for a given effective cover, at a given time for bacterial are lowest than that of reference.
