Effects of Concrete Properties and Testing Method! on Coefficient of Chloride Diffusion in Hardened Concrete

콘크리트 물성 및 시험법이 콘크리트 염화물 확산 계수에 미치는 영향

Corrosion of reforcement is the main cause of damage and early failure of reinforced concrete structures. The corrosion is mainly progressed by the chloride ingress. In this paper, an experimental study is executed to investigate the effect of concrete properties and testing method on the coefficient of chloride diffusion. Also, it is compared that the relationship between total chloride and free chloride in concrete. According to this experiment results, w/c ratio and testing method effect on chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete. As w/c ratio is increased, diffusion coefficient in concrete is also increased. Diffusion coefficient obtained by each testing method show the different value, respectively. Also, the content of free chloride in 7days curing concrete is increased as w/c ratio is increased.
