Rapid Chloride Permeability

In this paper, the Rapid Chloride Permeability Test (RCPT)-ASTM C1202-91 and Conductance test were employed to measure the effect of curing time on the chloride penetration resistance of concrete. The results indicate that the concrete specimens with longer curing time have higher chloride penetration resistance no matter the concrete with or without mineral admixtures, the concrete conductance has the similar variation trend and similar mathematical descriptions as the chloride diffusion coefficient D with the passage of curing time, and it is a very useful method to measure concrete conductance to estimate the chloride permeability variation at different curing or exposure time.

This paper discusses on Rapid Chloride Permeability Test investigations on penetration of chloride ions included with replacement of cement by flyash material. By weigth of cement, the fly ash content is replaced from 0% to 60%. Concrete mixes with different binder content varies from 350, 400 and 450 kg/m3 were proportioned with different water binder(w/b) ratios = 0.4, 0.45 and 0.50. Specimens were casted and tested for 28 days. For all the combinations, RCPT was carried out and the charge passed through the specimens was noted. Rapid Chloride Permeability Test value of concrete without fly ash was found to be more than the concrete with fly ash. The Rapid Chloride Permeability Test values are found to be decreased if the percentage of flyash increases. The reason could be the pozzolanic reaction products (CSH) fill the pores between the cement pastes and cause a denser concrete matrix, resulting in better durability. Hence, it can be suggested that the fly ash concrete up to 50% replacement can be used for variety of applications.

ASTM C1202 tests were conducted at various ages with the corresponding surface resistivity test, and the results were compared. Samples tested included field- and laboratory-prepared samples. The laboratory test matrix tested several mixtures common to Louisiana at a wide range of ratios of water to cementitious materials (w/cm) to evaluate the range of the surface resistivity meter. The surface resistivity measurements correlated well with rapid chloride permeability measurements across a wide range of permeability values and sample testing ages. Suitable correlations were found between both the 14-day and the 28-day surface resistivity values and the 56-day rapid chloride permeability values. The variability of the surface resistivity test results is usually less than the variability of the rapid chloride permeability test results. The surface resistivity meter was also able to identify great differences in w/cm ratios for the same mixtures. The surface resistivity meter was determined to be user friendly. The preliminary cost–benefit analysis showed that implementation of the device would save the department about $101,000 in personnel costs in the first year. It is estimated that contractors would save about $1.5 million in quality control costs. The cost–benefit ratio for this project is estimated to be about 15. A Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development test requirements procedure, TR 233, has been developed and implementation of the surface resistivity device has begun.
