Effect of Mineral Admixture on Coefficient of Chloride Diffusion in Concrete

광물질 혼화재가 콘크리트의 염화물 확산계수에 미치는 영향

When concrete structures are exposed under marine condition for a long time, the steel in concrete is corroded due to the ingression of chlorides in the sea water. Because the damages of corrosion resulting from the chloride ion are very serious, many research have been performed. In this study, it was experimentally investigated that the mechanical and diffusion characteristics of concrete substituted with ordinary portland cement, silica fume and blast furnace slag to investigate the chloride ingress characteristics with concrete quality. Chloride diffusion coefficients in concrete shows increasing tendency as w/c ratio increase. Also test results indicate that blend of admixture become lower chloride diffusion coefficients in concrete as compared with normal concrete.
