Diffusion of Chloride in Concrete
This is a comprehensive and rigorous presentation on chloride ingress in concrete, drawing on test results and field observations as well as mathematical principles. It is written for practising engineers and is also a useful reference for engineering students.
The Moisture Effect on the Diffusion of Chloride Ion in Hydrated Cement Paste
Previous research [1] showed high chloride concentrations (2% / cement) on the outside surface of reinforced concrete structures in the mist zone of marine environments. However, the chloride penetration reaches low depths for the concrete class used. Observed data have raised suspicions as to the effect of moisture content on the diffusion of chlorides. A test method was developed to assess the changes in the chloride diffusion coefficient with changes in moisture content in cement paste. It was concluded that the saturation degree (SD) (percentage of moisture content in the cement paste in relation to maximum water absorption of the cement paste) has a large influence in the chloride diffusion properties of the hardened cement paste, and this factor must be taken into consideration when predicting the service life of a reinforced concrete structure.
Transport and Interactions of Chlorides in Cement-based Materials
Chloride-induced corrosion is the most important durability issue of reinforced concrete structures, and the prediction and prevention of chloride-induced corrosion has attracted considerable interest all over the world. Given that chloride penetrates through the concrete cover, the issues concerning its transport are crucial. These include testing methods, prediction, and the prevention of ingress. During the transport process, physical and chemical interaction occurs between chloride and cement hydrates, which in turn affects the further transport, so the transport of chloride and these interactions are closely related and underpin our understanding of chloride-induced corrosion in RC structures. This book provides in-depth discussion of chloride transport and its interaction in cement-based materials, and reviews and summarizes the state of the art. The mechanisms and testing methods for chloride transport, chemical interactions of chloride with cement hydrates, chloride binding isotherms, measurement of penetration depths, factors affecting chloride transport, and modeling of chloride transport are discussed in detail. This book serves as a reference for researchers or engineer, and a textbook for graduate students.
