The results of chloride ions with aqueous solution penetrating into the cement structure were determined with the colorimetric method. Some tendencies of chloride solutions migration in different conditions were established. The article suggests the possible ways of the prevention of destructive processes occur during the excessive pore solution saturation in cement matrix with chloride ions.

Abstract Besides the formation of Friedel salt the transport and binding of chlorides in concrete is mainly defined by the electrochemical double layer at the interface between cement matrix and pore solution. Due to the alkaline pore solution the surface of hardened cement paste is negatively charged which may change to positive values by the potential regulating calcium ions. Inverting of the surface charge leads to an attraction of anions and therefore, to an adsorption of chloride ions in the diffuse part of the electrochemical double layer. Influence from outside like sulphates and carbon dioxide may lead to a decomposition of Friedel salt. Apart from these effect temperature, pH-value and certain environmental conditions affects the electrochemical double layer as well. The chloride equilibrium is mainly controlled by adsorbed ions in the electrochemical double layer. The model presented here is relevant for the assessment of ion transport processes in mineral building materials. Continuing investigations may lead to optimize transport models and a better evaluation of the critical chloride threshold value in reinforced concrete.

The protection of mild steel by modified epoxy coating containing colophony microencapsulated corrosion inhibitors was investigated in this study. The corrosion behavior of these epoxy coatings containing colophony microcapsules was studied by electrochemical analysis using cyclic potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The microcapsule coating showed decreased corrosion current densities of 2.75 × 10−8 and 3.21 × 10−8 A/cm2 along with corrosion potential values of 0.349 and 0.392 VSCE for simulated concrete pore solution and deionized water with 3.5 wt.% NaCl, respectively, indicating improved corrosion protection in both alkaline and neutral pH. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis also showed charge transfer resistance values over one order of magnitude higher than the control sample, corroborating the electrochemical corrosion potential and current density testing results. Overall, the use of colophony microcapsules showed improved corrosion protection in simulated concrete pore solution and DI water solutions containing chloride ions.

Reinforced concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials for marine structures. Due to the abundance of the aggressive ions such as chloride ions and sulfate ions in the seawater, the reinforcement exposed to the marine and costal environment are exposed to a high corrosion risk. Localized corrosion will occur once the passive film on the rebar is damaged. In this work, the corrosion behavior of the steel in the simulated pore solution containing with both sulfate ions and chloride ions are studied by using cyclic potentialdynamic polarization methods and the corrosion morphologies observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The test results show that the initial rebar corrosion is caused by the absorption of the chloride ions in the passive film. The sulfate ions nearly had no effect on the corrosion of the rebar in pore solution and it can further mitigate the pitting corrosion in chloride containing pore solution.

Molecular Dynamics was employed to investigate the interaction of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), the primary hydration product of cement based materials, and chloride, causing severe durable problems of concrete. The 11Å tobermorite structure was chosen to describe the C-S-H structure and the CLAYFF force field was used. It is observed in the simulation that there are no bound chlorides at 303K, while a fraction of chlorides appear in the adsorption district of tobermorite/solution interface at 323K indicating the temperature increase can improve chloride sorption capacity of C-S-H. The formation of Ca-Cl cluster is found on the surface of tobermorite, which is assumed to promote the chloride sorption. The experimental results of sorption isotherms of C-S-H in CaCl2 and NaCl aqueous solutions with the same chloride concentration have proved this point. Other researchers have made the same conclusion by means of molecular dynamics modeling, NMR tests or zeta potential experiments.

In this paper, a device for pore solution extraction from cement-based materials was presented, The relevant Factors of Efficiency of Pore Solution Extraction and the effects of squeezing pressures on the chemical concentrations of pore solutions were studied. The results shows, the efficiency of pore solution extraction can be effected by pressure values, squeezing duration, pressure maintaining time; A low rate of pressures loading is suitable for early-age cement pastes, and long-term samples can take larger rate; 30 minutes loading time can be adopted for specimens with all the different ages; no significant differences were observed regarding the chemical composition (Na and K) of the pore solution extracted between 300 and 900MPa.
