The influence of stone dust content on chloride diffusion coefficient in C30, C40 and C50 grade concretes were investigated by means of the natural immersion test, XRD test, MIP test, SEM and TGA test, respectively. The experimental results showed that the chloride diffusion coefficient in C30 grade concretes decreased with increasing the stone dust content, but it decreased first and then increased with increasing the stone dust content in C40 and C50 grade concretes. The hydration degree for cementitious and compressive strength for concrete was slightly promoted by using stone dust replacing cementitious at a low level. For C30 grade concretes, the porosity decreased with increasing the stone dust content in fine aggregate, but for C40 and C50 grade concretes, the total porosity decreased first then increased with increasing the stone dust content. And the concrete pore structure was the main factor that influences the changes of chloride diffusion coefficient in concrete.

The influence of stone dust content on chloride diffusion coefficient in C60 grade concrete were investigated by means of the natural immersion test, XRD test, MIP test and TGA test, respectively. The experimental results showed that the chloride diffusion coefficient increased with increasing the stone dust content in manufactured sand, and the chloride diffusion coefficient increased little when the stone dust content increasing from 7% to 13%. The hydration degree for cementitious and compressive strength for concrete was slightly promoted by using stone dust replacing cementitious at a low level. But the porosity and average pore size of concrete increased with increasing the stone dust content from 3% to 13%, and the concrete pore structure was the main factor that influences the changes of chloride diffusion coefficient in concrete.

In China, manufactured sand has been widely used as fine aggregate in concrete. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the effect of manufactured sand on durability of concrete. This research studies the influence of stone dust content in manufactured sand on resisting chloride penetration in marine concrete by strength and other physical mechanical tests, XRD, TGA and pore structure analysis. Test results have shown that the chloride diffusion coefficient increased with increasing the stone dust content in manufactured sand when the stone dust content increasing from 3% to 13%. The stone dust in fine aggregate was participated in hydration procedure of cementitious, which will promote the hydration degree of cementitious and increase the chloride binding capacity of hydration product. The influence of stone dust in fine aggregate on chloride diffusion coefficient were the combined effects of concrete pore structure and cementitious hydration products, and the porosity and pore size distribution were the main factors that influence the changes of diffusion coefficient.

The total porosity of high performance concrete specimens after different level uniaxial tensile loading were measured to reflect the damage degree of mechanical load to the microstructure of the concrete. Meanwhile, considering the environmental characteristics of the ocean tidal zone, chloride penetration tests of the concrete were carried out with salt solution capillary absorption method. Based on the profile of chloride measured from specimens, chloride diffusion coefficients of the concrete under uniaxial tensile load with different levels are determined further by Fick’s second law. Results show that both of total porosity and chloride diffusion coefficient of the concrete are increased significantly after short-term tensile loading. And the evolutions of the porosity and chloride diffusion coefficient are similar with the development of micro-cracks under uniaxial tensile load.

An experimental investigation of diffusive transport of a nonreactive solute (chloride) in saturated, intact Queenston Shale is described. Laboratory tests were performed by placing distilled water in contact with samples of shale having a high initial concentration of chloride in their pore water. Chloride was then permitted to diffuse out of the shale and into the distilled water reservoir for a period of up to 65 days. At the end of each test, the shale sample was sectioned to determine the variation in chloride pore-water concentration with depth through the sample. Fickian diffusion theory was then used to deduce the diffusion coefficient (D). The experimental diffusion coefficient for chloride at a temperature of 22 ± 1 °C ranged from 1.4 × 10−6 to 1.6 × 10−6 cm2/s, which corresponds to a tortuosity (τ) ranging from 0.095 to 0.108. Based on pore size measurements and consideration of the ionic diameter of hydrated chloride, the "effective porosity" available for chloride diffusion is estimated to be greater than 75% of the total porosity calculated from the moisture content of the shale. Key words: diffusion, chloride, rock matrix, Queenston Shale, laboratory study.

This study investigated the effective chloride diffusion coefficient of cement mortar with different water-to-cement ratio (w/c) under electrical accelerated migration measurement. The cumulative chloride concentration in anode cell solution and the cumulative chloride concentration drop in the cathode cell solution was measured by RCT measurement and the results were further used to calculate the chloride diffusion coefficient by Nordtest Build 355 method and Truc method. The influence of w/c on cement mortar’s chloride coefficient was investigated and the chloride diffusion coefficient under different determination methods were compared with other researchers’ work, a good consistency between this work’s results and literatures’ results was obtained. The results indicated that the increased w/c of cement mortar samples will have a higher chloride diffusion coefficient. The cumulative chloride concentration drop in the cathode cell solution will have deviation in early stage measurement (before 60 h) which will result in overestimation of the effective chloride diffusion coefficient.

One of the ways of lessening the CO2 emissions of cement industry consists of replacing clinkers with supplementary cementitious materials. The required service life of real construction elements is long, so it is useful to characterize the performance of these materials in the very long term. Here, the influence of incorporating waste glass powder as a supplementary cementitious material, regarding the microstructure and durability of mortars after 1500 hardening days (approximately 4 years), compared with reference mortars without additions, was studied. The percentages of clinker replacement by glass powder were 10% and 20%. The microstructure was studied using impedance spectroscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry. Differential thermal and X-ray diffraction analyses were performed for assessing the pozzolanic activity of glass powder at the end of the time period studied. Water absorption after immersion, the steady-state diffusion coefficient, and length change were also determined. In view of the results obtained, the microstructure of mortars that incorporated waste glass powder was more refined compared with the reference specimens. The global solid fraction and pores volume were very similar for all of the studied series. The addition of waste glass powder reduced the chloride diffusion coefficient of the mortars, without worsening their behaviour regarding water absorption after immersion.

The durability of the concrete in underground and marine engineering is affected by the underground and ocean environment. Chloride diffusion coefficient under hydrostatic pressure is a key parameter of concrete durability design under corresponding conditions. Therefore, this paper studies the diffusion behavior of chloride in different diffusion source solutions by experiment and simulation. Based on the experimental results, this paper proposes a new chloride diffusion model under the coupling effect of diffusion and convection. The interaction of ions and compounds in the diffusion source solutions, concrete pore fluid, and concrete material are considered in the new chloride diffusion model. The experimental results show that chloride diffusion rate is significantly affected by hydrostatic pressure, which increases with the increase of hydrostatic pressure. The chloride diffusion coefficient shows a certain difference in difference diffusion source solutions. The chloride diffusion coefficient in divalent cationic diffusion source solutions is the largest, the chloride diffusion coefficient in the divalent and monovalent cationic compound ones is in the middle, and the chloride diffusion coefficient in the monovalent cationic ones is the smallest. There is a linear relationship between the chloride diffusion coefficient and the hydrostatic pressure whether in single or combined cationic diffusion source solutions.

Under coastal or marine conditions, chloride erosion is the major accelerating factor of reinforcement corrosion. Therefore, it is of vital importance to investigate the chloride diffusion model. Research reveals that the concrete stress state has great influence on chloride diffusion; therefore a stress influence coefficient was incorporated in chloride diffusion coefficient model by many researchers. By referring to the experimental data from eight different researchers, the law between stress influence coefficient and concrete stress ratio is studied in detail, and equations relating the stress influence coefficient with the concrete stress ratio are established. Compared with three typical existing groups of equations, it is found that the proposed equations give the most accurate estim.ation of the stress influence coefficient. Hence, the proposed equations can be adopted to improve the valuation of chloride diffusion coefficient, and a modified chloride diffusion model is put forward. Three groups of experimental data are used to validate the modified chloride diffusion model, which is shown to be reasonable and having high prediction accuracy.
