In this study, we investigated the effects of mineral admixtures on the autogenous healing of flexural mortar members through a chloride ion penetration test. The mineral admixtures used were ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), fly ash, silica fume (SF), clinker binder, and clinker sand. Through a four-point bending test, a crack of approximately 100 μm was induced at the bottom of the flexural mortar member, and the chloride ion penetration depth through the crack was measured to evaluate the self-healing performance. Additionally, we analyzed the correlation between the self-healing performances, which was measured through water flow and water absorption tests. The experimental results showed that the chloride ion penetration depth decreased due to crack healing, and the self-healing performance of the GGBS and SF was the highest. It was found that the subtle change in the self-healing performance was more accurately evaluated by the chloride ion penetration test.

Although self-healing protective coatings have been widely studied, systematic research on healing performance of the coating according to damage width has been rare. In addition, there has been rare reports of self-healing of the protective coating having damage width wider than 100 µm. In this study, self-healing performance of a microcapsule type self-healing protective coating on cement mortar was studied for the coating with damage width of 100–300 µm. The effect of capsule-loading (20 wt%, 30 wt% and 40 wt%), capsule size (65-, 102- and 135-µm-mean diameter) and coating thickness (50-, 80- and 100-µm-thick undercoating) on healing efficiency was investigated by water sorptivity test. Accelerated carbonation test, chloride ion penetration test and scanning electron microscope (SEM) study were conducted for the self-healing coating with a 300-µm-wide damage. Healing efficiency of the self-healing coating decreased with increasing damage width. As capsule-loading, capsule size or coating thickness increased, healing efficiency of the self-healing coating increased. Healing efficiency of 76% or higher was achieved using the self-healing coating with a 300-µm-wide scratch. The self-healing coating with a 200-µm-wide crack showed healing efficiency of 70% or higher. The self-healing coating having a 300-µm-wide scratch showed effective protection of the substrate mortar from carbonation and chloride ion penetration, which was supported by SEM study.

Chloride ion diffusion coefficient is an important indicator reflected the concrete durability in chloride erosion environment, and affects the service life of concrete structure directly. By the indoor test of chloride acceleration permeability, the chloride ions diffusivity is studied in the tunnel lining structure, and the variation law of the chloride content is tested with the change of penetration depth of different age specimen. Tests shows, with the increases of the penetration depth, the chloride content decrease gradually and finally tend to the initial chloride content of the specimen. Penetration time has a strong cumulative effect on the internal concentration of chloride ions in concrete, the high or low level of chloride ion concentration have a role of promotion or reduction for the chloride ion penetration in the concrete inside. The results provide an important basis for the predictions of service life of tunnel lining in chloride erosion environment.

Improving concrete performance and minimizing corrosion-induced deterioration of reinforced concrete structures are mandated Building Codes Practices and Specifications in arid regions such as the Arabian Gulf. Concrete structures resist corrosion due to the passivating properties of the hydrated cement around the steel reinforcement created by the high alkaline environment within the composite structure (pH > 12). However, the presence of chloride ions in the pore structure of the concrete destroys this passivating layer, which makes the steel reinforcement vulnerable to chloride-induced corrosion attack that accelerates degradation and deterioration of concrete structures. Corrosion activities-related tests such as Time-to-Corrosion Initiation (Modified ASTM G-109)6, and Corrosion Rate Test (Lollipop Test), can be effectively used to monitor the behavior of corrosion development, while chloride ingress characteristics tests such as Electrical Indication of Concretes Ability to Resist Chloride Ion Penetration ASTM C-1202-91)7, and the Resistance of Concrete to Chloride Ion Penetration (AASHTO T 259-80)8, are applied to evaluate the rate at which chloride ions can diffuse through concrete to onset the time-to-corrosion initiation, which will impact the structure service life and compromise its sustainability. Efforts have been made by scientists to develop mathematical simulation models that predict the service life of the structure based on Ficks Second Law for semi-finite diffusion of chloride ions, concentrated at different concrete depths. The study concluded that mineral admixtures have contributed to the enhancement of concrete performance and its resistance to chloride diffusivity, as well when in combination with corrosion-inhibiting admixture such as calcium nitrite.


In conventional concrete, one of the ingredients Cement is partially replaced by Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and its nature is studied in this project.. In the present paper, a comparison of Chloride ion penetration is been done on Concrete specimens with partial GGBS replacement. Two tests have been performed on the concrete specimens in both normal environment and artificial marine environment. One is the conventional RCPT and the other one is the chloride ion penetration test using silver nitrate. Comparison of both the tests under normal and marine environment is the main aim of this paper. After compiling the data both RCPT and the Chloride ion penetration test goes hand in hand and this proves the compatibility of the new chloride ion penetration test using silver nitrate. This work has the comparison of the concrete specimens in normal and marine environments as well with different levels of GGBS replacement.
