چکیده

Concretes used in marine environment are generally under the cyclic effect of CO2 and chloride ions (Cl -). To date, the influence of carbonation on ingress of chloride ions in concretes has been widely studied; in comparison, study on the influence of Clon the progress of carbonation is limited. During the study, concretes were exposed to independent and combined mechanisms of carbonation and chloride ingress regimes. Profiles of apparent pH and chloride concentration were used to indicate the progress of carbonation and ingress of Clin concretes. From the apparent pH profile, a carbonation front and a carbonation boundary were characterized according to profile of consumed hydroxyl ions (OH-). Results show that carbonation was significantly slowed down due to the existence of Cl-, viz. the depth of carbonation boundary was decreased; the profile of consumed OHbecame modest; the carbonation front for different mixes presented slightly different trends. For the sound concretes, carbonation generated microcracks on concrete surface and increased permeation properties; for the chloride contaminated concretes, due to the limited extent of carbonation, permeation properties did not present obvious difference.

Corrosion Behavior of Steel Reinforcement in Concrete with Recycled Aggregates, Fly Ash and Spent Cracking Catalyst

The main strategy to reduce the environmental impact of the concrete industry is to reuse the waste materials. This research has considered the combination of cement replacement by industrial by-products, and natural coarse aggregate substitution by recycled aggregate. The aim is to evaluate the behavior of concretes with a reduced impact on the environment by replacing a 50% of cement by indus...

Carbonation-induced Corrosion of Blended-cement Concrete Mix Designs for Highway Structures

Corrosion of concrete reinforcing steel in highway structures has traditionally been related to chloride ions. However, another cause of reinforcing steel corrosion is concrete carbonation which decreases the pH of the pore solution, Carbonation-induced corrosion tends to develop later and proceeds at slower rates than chloride-induced corrosion. Since very long service life goals are currently...

Short-Term Behavior of Slag Concretes Exposed to a Real In Situ Mediterranean Climate Environment

At present, one of the most suitable ways to get a more sustainable cement industry is to reduce the CO₂ emissions generated during cement production. In order to reach that goal, the use of ground granulated blast-furnace slag as clinker replacement is becoming increasingly popular. Although the effects of this addition in the properties of cementitious materials are influenced by their harden...
