Durability Characteristics of Concrete Exposed To Chloride

Uploaded by

Bharwad Prakash

This document discusses the durability of concrete exposed to chloride. It introduces the topic, noting that concrete is vulnerable to cracking which allows chloride ingress and corrosion of reinforcing steel. The objectives of durable concrete design are outlined, including adequate strength and deformation properties. A literature review is mentioned. Test methodologies and data collection are briefly referenced. Recommendations for concrete mix designs and properties to achieve 100-year service life in various exposure conditions are provided. The scope discusses further investigations needed, such as resistance to other chemical attacks and optimization of mineral admixtures common in India.

Abstract
Concrete, a strong, durable material composed of cement,
aggregate and water, is the most used building material in the
world.
Concrete has an ultimate load bearing capacity under
compression but the material is weak in tension. That is why
steel bars are embedded in the concrete for the structures to
carry tensile loads. The steel reinforced bars take the load
when the concrete cracks in tension. On other hand the
concrete protects the steel reinforced bars from the
environment and prevents corrosion.
However, the cracks in the concrete form a major problem
which affects the durability of the structures.
Here the ingress of water and chloride ions takes place and
deterioration of the structure starts with the corrosion of the
steel.

To increase the strength and durability of the structure


either the cracks that are formed should be repaired
conventionally using epoxy injection or latex treatment
or by providing extra reinforcement in the structure
during the design phase to ensure that the crack width
stays within a permissible limit.

Increasing the concrete cover over the steel also helps slow down

Other methods of reducing steel corrosion include the use of


corrosion inhibiting admixtures, epoxy-coated reinforcing steel,

Objectives
The structures so designed should have an acceptable
probability of performing satisfactorily during their
intended life.
The designed structures should be durable.
The designed structures should adequately resist to the
effects of chemical attack.
The designed structure should sustain all loads and
deform within limits for construction and use.

Scope of Study
In this study, durability have been studied thoroughly
but still some aspects require more investigations e.g.
resistance against sulphur attack, carbonation, alkali
silica reaction, freezing and thawing may be studied.
The

reactive
mineral
admixtures
like
Metakaoline or rice husk ash with fly ash in cement
system may be investigated for optimization as India
has rich deposits of Kaoline and it is a leading
producer of rice.
