ABSTRACTFly ash-cement pastes are known to develop fine pore structures that may retard the transport of ionic species. The rapid chloride permeability technique for studying the Cl- ion diffusion in hydrated fly ash/cement pastes, mortars and concrete was used. The technique applies an electrical potential across a cylindrical sample and measures the charge passed in a certain period of time. The results obtained on pastes and mortars cured for 28 days were reported previously and contrasted with those of neat cement pastes and mortars. The present paper reports more extensive studies made to examine the chloride permeabilities of pastes and mortars cured for up to 90 days. In addition, the effect of variable fly ash contents was examined. Concrete samples were included in the test scheme and the data were compared with pastes and mortars. Two important factors controlling the test results are discussed: first the mix design and curing conditions; second the experimental conditions during Cl- permeability measurements. In the second factor, the amount and rate of heat build up and the chloride ion concentrations are compared with the current passed. In addition, measuring current versus resistivity are critically discussed in terms of the voltage-current varistic characteristics of cement matrices.

ABSTRACTFly ashes having three distinctly different levels of calcium, designated low-calcium (Class F), intermediate-calcium (Class F/C), and high-calcium (Class C), comprised the basic material for the present study. Pastes and mortars were made using cement and one of three types of fly ashes at various levels of replacement and water-solid ratios. Chloride ion diffusion was measured by applying an electrical potential across cured cylindrical samples and measuring the amount of current passed in a certain period of time (proportional to amount of CE” passed in this time). Other supportive measurements were made, e.g. porosity, pore size distribution, water permeability and surface area. The Cl− ion diffusivity was correlated with the chemical composition of fly ash, mix proportion, and water permeability of the hardened paste or mortar.

This paper discusses on Rapid Chloride Permeability Test investigations on penetration of chloride ions included with replacement of cement by flyash material. By weigth of cement, the fly ash content is replaced from 0% to 60%. Concrete mixes with different binder content varies from 350, 400 and 450 kg/m3 were proportioned with different water binder(w/b) ratios = 0.4, 0.45 and 0.50. Specimens were casted and tested for 28 days. For all the combinations, RCPT was carried out and the charge passed through the specimens was noted. Rapid Chloride Permeability Test value of concrete without fly ash was found to be more than the concrete with fly ash. The Rapid Chloride Permeability Test values are found to be decreased if the percentage of flyash increases. The reason could be the pozzolanic reaction products (CSH) fill the pores between the cement pastes and cause a denser concrete matrix, resulting in better durability. Hence, it can be suggested that the fly ash concrete up to 50% replacement can be used for variety of applications.

ABSTRACTFly ashes having three distinctly different levels of calcium, designated low-calcium (Class F), intermediate-calcium (Class F/C), and high-calcium (Class C) comprised the basic material for the present study. Pastes and mortars were made out of the three types of fly ashes and one type of cement (Type I) at various levels of replacement as well as different water/solid ratios (w/c). Chloride ion diffusion was measured by applying an electrical potential across cured cylindrical samples and measuring the amount of current passed in a certain period of time (proportional to amount of Cl− passed in this time). Other supportive measurements were made, e.g., porosity and pore size distribution, water permeability and surface area. The Cl− ion diffusivities were correlated with the chemical composition of fly ash (FA), mix proportioning, and water permeabilities of the tested hardened pastes or mortars.

In this study, concrete prisms were made with three mineral admixtures: fly ash, blast furnace slag or silica fume and with three water-to-binder ratios(w/b). Chloride penetration was measured by the rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT)-ASTM C1202, 150-days ponding test and alternate wetting and drying test by cyclic loading with salt solution and oven drying, and the results by the three test methods were compared. This paper discussed the effects of mineral admixtures and w/b on the concrete chloride permeability. Blending concrete with blast furnace slag, fly ash or silica fume was beneficial with regard to the resistance against chloride ion penetration. Concrete specimens with lower w/b showed lower chloride permeability.

Chloride Ion Transport

Abstract The measurement of electric potential and resistance reflect the transport of sodium and chloride ions which take place in keratinocytes and is associated with skin response to stimuli arising from external and internal environment. The aim of the study was to assess changes in electrical resistance and the transport of chloride and sodium ions, under iso-osmotic conditions and following the use of inhibitors affecting these ions’ transport, namely amiloride (A) and bumetanide (B). The experiment was performed on 104 fragments of rabbit skin, divided into three groups: control (n = 35), A—inhibited sodium transport (n = 33) and B—inhibited chloride transport (n = 36). Measurement of electrical resistance (R) and electrical potential (PD) confirmed tissue viability during the experiment, no statistically significant differences in relation to control conditions were noted. The minimal and maximal PD measured during stimulation confirmed the repeatability of the recorded reactions to the mechanical and mechanical–chemical stimulus for all examined groups. Measurement of PD during stimulation showed differences in the transport of sodium and chloride ions in each of the analyzed groups relative to the control. The statistical analysis of the PD measured in stationary conditions and during mechanical and/or mechanical–chemical stimulation proved that changes in sodium and chloride ion transport constitute the physiological response of keratinocytes to changes in environmental conditions for all applied experimental conditions. Assessment of transdermal ion transport changes may be a useful tool for assessing the skin condition with tendency to pain hyperactivity and hypersensitivity to xenobiotics.

ABSTRACTChloride ions, when present at sufficient concentration in the concrete pore fluid, may be associated with corrosion of the reinforcing steel even in normally passivative environments. The effectiveness of fly ash containing pastes in trapping chloride ions was studied. A paste was prepared containing 30% low-calcium fly ash and 70% type I cement, with mixing water (50% by weight) containing 0.4% C1− with respect to the solid. Samples were cured at 25°C and 38°lC at 95% R.H. At designated times extending over a six-month period, the pore fluids were expressed from the hardened pastes using a squeezing cell designed for this purpose. Special precautions were taken to avoid carbonation of the fluids; contact with the atmosphere was minimized. The expressed fluids were analyzed by DC plasma emission spectrometry for cations and by automated selective ion exchange chromatography for anions. Other studies (XRD, thermal analysis) were carried out to identify the compounds formed and determine their mechanisms of formation. Investigations indicated that the mechanism of trapping chloride ion is partly chemical and partly physical through adsorption on the surface of fly ash particles (initially physical and subsequently chemical).

Resistance Performance

The main aim of this investigation is to study the influence of monoethylamine, diethylamine and triethylamine inhibitors on the corrosion resistance performance of 25% fly ash blended cement concrete. These inhibitors were added in dosages of 1%, 2%, 3% and 4% by weight of cement and experimental investigations have been carried out to compare the effectiveness of these three inhibitors with regard to strength and corrosion resistance. The mechanical strength properties studied were compressive, split tensile, flexural and bond strengths. The resistance to corrosion was evaluated based on the performance of the concrete for the penetration of chloride ions by means of impressed voltage technique, Rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT), AC impedance measurement, and weight loss measurement and ultimately the most effective of the three inhibitors and its optimal dosage has been determined.

1. The larva of Philanisus plebeius is capable of surviving for at least 10 days in external salt concentrations from 90 mM/l sodium chloride (about 15 % sea water) to 900 mM/l sodium chloride (about 150 % sea water). 2. Over this range the osmotic pressure and the sodium and chloride ion concentrations of the haemolymph are strongly regulated. The osmotic pressure of the midgut fluid and rectal fluid is also strongly regulated. 3. The body surface of the larva is highly permeable to water and sodium ions. 4. In sea water the larva is exposed to a large osmotic flow of water outwards across the body surface. This loss is replaced by drinking the medium. 5. The rectal fluid of larvae in sea water, although hyperosmotic to the haemolymph, is hypo-osmotic to the medium, making it necessary to postulate an extra-renal site of salt excretion. 6. Measurements of electrical potential difference across the body wall of the larva suggest that in sea water this tissue actively transports sodium and chloride ions out of the body.

Concretes based on alkaliactivated binders have attracted considerable attention as new alternative construction materials, which can substitute Portland Cement (OPC) in several applications. These binders are obtained through the chemical reaction between an alkaline activator and reactive aluminosilicate materials, also named precursors. Commonly used precursors are fly ash (FA), blast furnace slag (GBFS), and metakaolin. The present study evaluated properties such as compressive strength, rate of water absorption (sorptivity), and chloride permeability in two types of alkaliactivated concretes (AAC): FA/GBFS 80/20 and GBFS/OPC 80/20. OPC and GBFS/OPC* concretes without alkaliactivation were used as reference materials. The highest compressive strength was observed in the FA/GBFS concrete, which reported 26,1% greater strength compared to OPC concrete after 28 days of curing. The compressive strength of alkaliactivated FA/GBFS 80/20 and GBFS/OPC 80/20 was 61 MPa and 42 MPa at 360 days of curing, respectively. These AAC showed low permeability to the chloride ion and a reduced water absorption. It is concluded that these materials have suitable properties for various applications in the construction sector.
