Evaluation of the Prediction and Durability on the Chloride Penetration in Cementitious Materials with Blast Furnace Slag as Cement Addition

Blast furnace slag (BFS) is a mortar additive in which the utilization of varied curing conditions and basicity BFS determine fineness resulting and, thereby, its salt prevention properties. This study evaluates compares salt-prevention properties prepared by either steam or water curing. The physical properties, for example, fineness, revealed factors significantly affected that influence salt-preventive specimens examined, such as lead time diffusion coefficient. Furthermore, these were also differences other However, few studies have examined use reducing chloride ion permeability main factor corrosion reactions. Thus, this specific surface, water/binder ratio (W/B), on penetration cementitious materials with blast cement addition terms delaying penetration, affects Results are intended to guide development products precast concrete industry, toward extending life structures, especially reinforced structures marine environments. In addition, durability measurements from experiment conducted illustrated. indicates Blaine size results reveal effects combining various values ratio-affecting mortar. conclusion, decrease against attack improve mechanical manufacturer industrial applications successfully developed study. water-curing conditions, high value, replacement ratio, W/B tend general property performance attack.
