In order to accurately simulate the diffusion of chloride ion in the existing concrete bridge and acquire the precise concentration of chloride ion at any time, a Cellular Automata(CA)-based model is proposed. Firstly, the process of chloride ion diffusion is analyzed by the CA method and a nonlinear solution to the Fick’s second law is obtained. Secondly, considering the impact of various factors such as stress states, temporal and spatial variability of diffusion parameters and water-cement ratio on the process of chloride ion diffusion, the model of chloride ion diffusion under multifactor coupling is presented. Finally, a chloride ion penetrating experiment is used to prove the effectiveness and reasonability of this present method. A T-type beam is taken as an illustrative example to analyze the process of chloride ion diffusion.

Abstract Magnesium oxide (MgO) based cements finds its way active in current researches where diverse range of applications and characteristics such as production process, reactivity and physical properties are essentially focus with the perception of individual expansion objectives. In general, relativity between distinctive MgO characteristics is examined in conjunction with the impact of MgO embodiment on the resources of cementitious materials is further considered. MgO is a key to develop the construction industry thereby mechanical strength and durability performance of cement paste, adhesive and concrete composites impose of MgO needs to be explored. Subsequently, this research paper explicitly defines the investigation of MgO cement composites in terms of compressive and flexural behavior, toughness, tensile and durability performances, flexibility, water susceptibility, porosity, carbonation, chloride ion diffusion, shrinkage and degree of hydration. In this regard, to application of magnesia-based cement products is influenced by various factors such as raw material, composition, performance. The review provides a detailed information of current research available related to magnesia-based cement products based on its properties.

Bentonite is known as a kind of natural pozzolan that can improve the mechanical properties of cementitious materials and reduce the overall CO2 output of cement production. This study is designed to evaluate the feasibility of using bentonite as a substitute for cement in concrete and analyze the effect of bentonite on resisting chloride ion penetration. The concrete was replaced by equal-quality bentonite for 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% cement respectively, and the water-cement ratio, fine and coarse aggregate content remained constant. The results indicated that as the bentonite content increased, the compressive strength of the mixes increased first and then decreased. The sample containing 10% bentonite got a higher compressive strength than the other samples. The rapid chloride migration (RCM) tests showed that the samples containing bentonite had better resistance to chloride ion attack than samples without bentonite against chloride, especially the sample containing 10% bentonite. It can be concluded that the concrete with 10% bentonite can improve the resistance to chloride ion diffusion with high compressive strength.

This paper present the effect of crumb rubber on its ability to produce concrete with structural strength when it was used directly from the plant without any treatment process. Crumb rubber was added as fine aggregates at 0%, 10%, 15% and 20% of sand volume meanwhile silica fume was added at 10% by cement weight. Three main series of concrete namely rubberized concrete with water-to-cement ratio of 50% and 35% was design and development of compressive strength was observed from day 7 until 91 days. Also, effectiveness of crumb rubber under flexural strength and splitting tensile strength was studied at 28 days curing age. Effect of crumb rubber on durability performance was done on chloride ion penetration resistance performance by migration test and by immersion in salt water. Chloride ion diffusion in rubberized concrete by migration test was carried out under steady state condition using effective diffusion coefficient, De meanwhile, immersion test in salt water was conducted under non-steady state condition using apparent diffusion coefficient, Da. Results showed that compressive strength was decrease with the increasing of crumb rubber in the mixture.  Even though the strength were reducing with the inclusion of crumb rubber, the reduction were less than 50% and it achieved acceptable structural strength. Chloride transport characteristics were improved by increasing amount of CR and rubberized concrete with w/c = 0.35 gave better resistance against chloride ion compared to w/c = 0.50 with more than 50% difference. Silica fume provide slightly strength increment compared to normal rubberized concrete and the same behavior was observed during chloride ion diffusion test.
