deterioration of concrete structures in the gulf region is a serious problem. penetration of chloride ion into concrete is responsible for such early deterioration. determination of chloride diffusion coefficient is an effective way to predict the service life of concrete structures. in order to investigate the performance of concrete mixtures in such environments, ordinary and silica fume conc...

chloride ion ingress in concrete is the main reason of concrete corrosion. in real world both uncertainty and stochasticity are main attributes of almost all measurements including testing and modeling of chloride content profile in concrete. regarding these facts new models should be able to represent at least some of the uncertainties in the predictions. in this paper after inspiration from c...

in this study, the effect of cement content on concrete performance in corrosive environments is investigated on concrete mixtures having the same water/cement (w/c) ratio. three w/c ratios (0.40, 0.45 and 0.50) were used and for each w/c ratio three mixtures were prepared with cement contents 350, 400 and 450 kg/m3. the compressive strength, electrical resistivity and chloride diffusivity of t...

Chloride diffusion is one of the major causes of deterioration of concrete structures. A large amount of research has been conducted to study the chloride diffusion of concrete, both experimentally and theoretically. Because chloride diffusion experiments are time consuming, it is desirable to develop a model to predict the chloride profiles in concrete. This paper studies the feasibility of us...

Coastal concrete bridges will suffer from deterioration of RC structural performance and resistance attenuation because of the chloride penetration and other environment factors. This article discusses current different chloride diffusion models and puts forward the revised model of chloride diffusion in concrete bridge by considering the complex action of load influence and chloride-binding ca...

Engineering uses the chloride ion diffusion coefficient as the durability of concrete quality control indicators under the marine environment, due to the chloride ion diffusion coefficient and the electrical resistivity of concrete parameters are reflected in the concrete pore structure, and resistivity testing is convenient, fast advantages, the resistivity alternative chloride ion diffusion c...

It is well known that the electric resistivity of concrete is one of the useful durability indicators for chloride induced deterioration of concrete structures. In this study, the influence of air temperature and relative water content ratio in concrete on some measuring results of the electric resistivity was investigated by using the concrete specimens which were exposed in tidal zone. In add...

The designed service life of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is 120 years. Concrete quality control for the submerged tunnel of the project is an important work to assure the designed service life. This article is to present an advanced concrete performance prediction method based on water–binder ratio (w/b) monitoring, which is used to serve for concrete quality control. During experiments in th...
