Chloride ion critical content in reinforced concrete

Abstract

Chloride ion critical content was studied under soaking and cycle of dry and wet conditions, with three electrochemical nondestructive measuring techniques, i e, half-cell potential, A C impedance, and time potential. The experimental results show that chloride ion critical content is primarily determined by the water cement ratio, while for the same concrete mixture the chloride ion critical content in soaking conditions is larger than that in a cycle of dry and wet conditions.

Keywords
