The effect of different cements and pozzolans on chloride ingress into concrete
(2000) In Report TVBM- Abstract
- Chloride profiles were measured on ten different concrete qualities.
The effect of two different cements, an ordinary Portland cement,
OPC, and a sulfate-resistent Portland cement, SRPC, with and without
inclusion of silica fume and fly ash was investigated. The samples
were exposed to a 3 wt% sodium chloride solution for 119 days. Two
different preparations before exposure were studied. Both types of
preparations consisted of one-day membrane hardening after casting.
Af ter this a set of samples were dried for two we eks and then rewetted

The effect of two different cements, an ordinary Portland cement,
OPC, and a sulfate-resistent Portland cement, SRPC, with and without
inclusion of silica fume and fly ash was investigated. The samples
were exposed to a 3 wt% sodium chloride solution for 119 days. Two
different preparations before exposure were studied. Both types of
preparations consisted of one-day membrane hardening after casting.
Af ter this a set of samples were dried for two we eks and then rewetted
in tap water for one week before exposure. The other set of samples
were stored in tap water one week before exposure to chlorides. The
chloride content profile in concrete was measured by removing approximately
1.2 mm thick layers, from the exposed surface, by grinding.
The concrete powder, collected from different depths from the surface,
was dissolved in an acid and analyzed for chlorides by an ion-selective
electrode. The obtained chloride profiles were evaluated in two ways.
The first consisted of a simple curve fitting to the solution to Fick's
second law, without any special attention to boundary conditions, in
order to obtain the so-called effective diffusion constant. The other
method of evaluating the measured values consisted of a more detailed
hypothesis accounting for dielectrical effects, diffusion of free ions in
pore solution, and chemical reaction such as binding of chlorides and
dissolution of hydroxide from solid hydration products. Both methods
of evaluating the me asur ed data gave the result that the OPC
concretes resisted chloride ingress better than SRCP concretes at the
same water to binder ratios when stored in water before exposure.
The OPC concrete in which 5% of the cement content were replaced
by silica fume resisted chloride ingress significantly better than the
SRPC with the same relative amount of silica fume. This behavior
was independent of curing conditions. (Less)
