Este artículo estudia el comportamiento a la corrosión de morteros reforzados de cemento portland, sin adiciones y con adiciones de metacaolín (MK) y humo de sílice (SF), en presencia de cloruros. La proporción de la adición utilizada en las mezclas fue del 10% en peso como reemplazo del cemento. Se prepararon prototipos sin y con acero de refuerzo. En los primeros se determinó la resistencia a la compresión, absorción, porosidad, y permeabilidad a los cloruros. Las probetas de mortero reforzado se expusieron a cloruros (NaCl 3,5%) y se aplicaron dos técnicas aceleradas de corrosión: ciclos de humectación-secado y voltaje impreso; en ambos casos se utilizó como ambiente de referencia agua potable. El avance del proceso de corrosión en el acero se evaluó mediante la técnica electroquímica de resistencia a la polarización lineal (LPR). Los resultados mostraron que tanto a 28 como a 90 días de curado, las adiciones aumentan la resistencia a la compresión del mortero y contribuyen positivamente a reducir la susceptibilidad del material cementicio a la permeabilidad de cloruros. De las adiciones evaluadas, se destaca el desempeño mecánico de la mezcla con 10% de MK, representado en un incremento del 51,9% respecto a cemento Portland ordinario (OPC). Los coeficientes de absorción capilar de los morteros adicionados fueron hasta un 31% menores que los correspondientes de OPC, lo cual coincide con la reducida permeabilidad a cloruros (≤ 1000 coulombios) evaluada con base en la Norma ASTM C1202. Respecto a los resultados de corrosión se aprecia la misma tendencia de comportamiento en las mezclas, independientemente de la técnica acelerada utilizada. El mejor desempeño corresponde a la mezcla que contiene MK, seguido de SF y OPC. Cabe anotar, que la corriente de corrosión en los prototipos OPC es reducida hasta en un 90% al incorporar MK. De las técnicas aceleradas empleadas en el presente estudio se sugiere utilizar la de voltaje impreso debido al corto tiempo de obtención de los resultados.

Charge passed of mortars with different aggregate volume fractions was tested according to ASTM C1202, and the differential expression of the Ohm law was introduced to explain the relationship between charge passed data and aggregate fractions.Cl- penetration depth of the corresponding mortars and concretes was measured to illustrate the influence of the aggregate volume fraction on their chloride permeability. It was shown that the charge passed of mortar was negatively correlated with aggregate volume fractions, and high aggregate fraction bearing concrete with low charge passed did not necessarily mean low permeability. As a result, the influence of aggregate fraction on charge passed should be taken into consideration when charge passed data was employed to evaluate Cl- permeability of concrete.

By use of ASTM C1202, this paper studied the influence of mineral admixtures on the chloride ions penetration resistance of the new-old concrete compound system. The results indicate that the performance of new-old concrete exert significant influence on the new-old concrete compound system. The addition of mineral admixtures improve the permeability properties of new-old concrete. Adding fly ash(FA) require a relatively longer time to get its beneficial effect. When 30% weight of cement is replaced by 10% FA and 20% ground blast furnace slag(GGBFS), the inclusion of 30% mineral admixtures significantly improve the chloride ions penetration resistance properties of the new-old concrete compound system at 28 days and 180 days.

Corrosion of reinforcement is one of basic destruction mechanisms of reinforced concrete structures. In that sense, the most affected structures are those by the sea, especially their parts subjected to cycles of wetting and drying. Chlorides penetrate to concrete mostly by diffusion, faster if the concrete is more permeable, destructing reinforcement passive protection and causing its corrosion, reduction of reinforcement cross section and bearing capacity of the structure. Retardation of chloride corrosion that causes structure degradation in marine environment can be achieved by the usage of quality concrete with enhanced strength and permeability parameters in regards to ordinary concrete. Mixes of ordinary and high performance concrete with different ratio of silica fume have been made. Compressive strength and resistivity to chloride penetration have been tested on the specimens 28 days after mixing. The resistivity to chloride penetration has been determined by fast chloride penetration test according to ASTM C1202 standard, using appliance that measures electrical conductivity of concrete specimens. Based on test results, the suitability of building reinforced concrete structures by the sea using high performance concrete has been analysed.

In order to study the durability of reinforced chemically bonded ceramics-based concrete structural members in marine environment, both the experiment of chloride ion permeability-resistance and rapid corrosion experiment of rebar in the CBC concrete were conducted. The methods of ASTM C1202,RCM and NEL were used to comprehensively assess the ability of chloride ion permeability-resistance of CBC concrete, electric flux and unsteady migration coefficients were taken as estimate indexes, while in the rapid corrosion experiment of rebar under the condition of immersing-drying circulating, rusty accumulation rate and weight loss ratio were taken as estimate indexes. The results of experiments indicate that CBC concrete has strong resistibility for chloride ion penetration, however, it cannot protect the internal rebar effectively, for the reason that the rebar in this test has been seriously corroded.

Abstract The main cause of concrete structures deterioration is related to the resistance against the penetration of aggressive agents. Aiming at increase the impermeability and reduce the diffusivity of concrete elements, making it less susceptible to the ingress of chloride ions, the use of crystalline catalyst emerges as a good alternative. Its mechanism of autogenous healing enhances the natural pore-filling process of concrete. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the use of crystalline catalyst on the chloride ions penetration and service life prediction of concrete. For the concrete mixtures production, it was used blast-furnace slag blended cement, three different water/cement (w/c) ratios (0.45; 0.55; 0.65), with and without crystalline catalyst, totaling six different mixtures. The concrete specimens were cured in a moist chamber and tested at 28 and 91 days. It was performed tests of compressive strength, rapid chloride permeability (ASTM C1202:12), and silver nitrate colorimetric indicator. The results show that, compared to the reference mixture, the use of crystalline catalyst conserved the compressive strength and reduced the chloride ions penetration up to 30%, increasing service life up to 34%.

Sulphate ion and chloride ion existed in the alkaline saline soils may cause serious problems on the durability of reinforced concrete structures, while it is found that superfine mineral powder plays positive role in the precaution of the alkaline saline corrosion. A composite cement named high performance cement (H.P.C) composed of clinker, metakaolin and fly ash powder in appropriate proportions is developed with good performance in preventing concrete from alkaline saline soil corrosion. Mortar bar test and visual examination showed that the cement could effectively control AAR and sulphate ion related expansion, and the charge passed tested according to ASTM C1202 was decreased to “negligible” level for concrete with W/B ratio of 0.3, and “very low” grade for concrete with W/B ratio of 0.45 and 0.55 when the high performance cement was used. Other properties such as low hydration heat and anti-freezing properties, as well as the uniformity of the fresh concrete (with no bleeding and segregation), made it an important material in the construction of concrete structure in alkaline saline soils.

By use of ASTM C1202, this paper studied the influence of mineral admixtures on the chloride ions penetration resistance of the steam-cured concrete. The experimental results indicated that mineral admixtures improved the permeability properties of high-performance concretes, but at different rates depending on the binder type. FA required a relatively longer time to get its beneficial effect. For each 10%~40% replacement of OPC by FA in a concrete mix, the values of coulomb charge of steam-cured and standard curing concrete reduces by 8%~17% at180 days. When 30% weight of the OPC were replaced by FA and ground blast furnace slag(GBFS), the inclusion of 30% mineral admixtures provided a significant improvement to the chloride ions penetration resistance properties of steam-cured and standard curing concrete at 28 days and 180 days, especially for the combination of 10% FA and 20% GBFS (double adding).

Silane-base water repellent agents can significantly suppress the capillary water absorption of concrete and consequently improve the durability of the concrete and protects the internal steel reinforcement. This paper presents test result on chloride diffusion property of natural and recycled aggregate concrete externally and internally treated with silane-based water repellent agents based on the ASTM C1202 test method. The effects of concrete cracks on the chloride diffusion property were also investigated. After the tests, the impregnation depth of silane into the natural and recycled aggregate concrete, the total charges passing the testing samples and penetration depth of chloride during the testing period were determined. It was found that, for both cracked and uncracked concrete, externally treated natural and recycled aggregate concrete performed better than internally treated ones. The water repellent treatment method is more effective for recycled aggregate concrete than natural aggregate concrete because a deeper impregnation depth can be achieved in the former case.

The ASTM C1202 method is observed that the total electric charge passed is not an ideal indicator for classification of concrete quality when different binders are considered. Considering the drawback of the ASTM 1202 method, a simple modification to the ASTM C1202 method is recommended. The modification involves an additional test using curing water as electrolyze solution. The difference in the total charge passed obtained between standard test and test performed in curing water is suggested as an indicator for concrete quality. The test results show that there exists a good correlation between the ACSIRO and the ASTM C1202 methods. The relationship can be formulated as a linear function.
