The effects of mineral admixtures and concrete surface coatings on the prevention of chloride intrusion into concrete is reported. Concrete of high, low and medium water to binder ratio, with and without mineral admixtures, or with and without a protected surface coating were designed. Reinforced concrete slab specimens were subjected up to 70 cycles of wetting and drying by ponding 4.0% sodium chloride solution and drying in atmospheric air. The chloride content in concrete was evaluated after 10, 20, 60 and 70 cycles of wetting and drying. The results show that the incorporation of mineral admixtures has a significant effect in reducing the chloride intrusion into concrete. As a result, it can be said that the service life of concrete structures incorporating mineral admixtures or protected with surface coating materials becomes significantly longer than that of the structures made of plain concretes when exposed to chloride environments, but, a good surface coating is far more effective and superior in enhancing service life than the incorporation of mineral admixtures. |
