Abstract

The present study assesses the chloride threshold level for corrosion of steel in concrete by examining the properties of four different binders used for blended concrete in terms of chloride binding, buffering of cement matrix to a pH fall and the corrosion behaviour. As binders, ordinary Portland cement (OPC), 30% pulverised fuel ash (PFA), 60% ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and 10% silica fume (SF) were used in a concrete mix. Testing for chloride binding was carried out using the water extraction method, the buffering of cement matrix was assessed by measuring the resistance to an artificial acidification of nitric acid, and the corrosion rate of steel in mortar with chlorides in cast was measured at 28 days using an anodic polarisation technique. Results show that the chloride binding capacity was much affected by $C_{3}A$ content and physical adsorption, and its order was 60% GGBS>30% PFA>OPC>10% SF. The buffering of cement matrix to a pH fall was varied with binder type and given values of the pH. From the result of corrosion test, it was found that the chloride threshold ranged 1.03, 0.65, 0.45 and 0.98% by weight of cement for OPC, 30% PFA, 60% GGBS and 10% SF respectively, assuming that corrosion starts at the corrosion rate of $0.1-0.2{\mu}A/cm^{2}$. The mole ratio of [$Cl^{-}$]:[$H^{+}$], as a new presentation of the chloride threshold, indicated the value of 0.008-0.009, irrespective of binder, which would be indicative of the inhibitive characteristic of binder.

본 연구에서는 혼합 콘크리트의 염소이온 고정화 능력, 수화물의 부식 억제 능력(Buffering capacity) 및 모르타르 내 철근 부식 측정을 통하여 콘크리트 내 철근 부식의 임계 염소이온 농도를 도출하였다. 실험 시 결합재로서 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트(OPC), 30% 플라이애시(PFA), 60% 고로슬래그 미분말(GGBS), 10% 실리카퓸(SF)를 치환한 혼합 시멘트를 사용하였다. 염소이온 고정화는 수분추출방법을 이용하여 측정하였으며, 시멘트의 부식 억제 능력은 결합재에 따른 산에 대한 저항성 측정을 통해 평가하였다. 염소이온이 함유된 모르타르 내 철근 부식은 재령 28일에 선형 분극 방법을 이용하여 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 염소이온 고정화 능력은 결합재 내의 $C_{3}A$ 함유량과 물리적 흡착에 의해 크게 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다. 염소이온 고정화 정도는60% GGBS > 30% PFA > OPC > 10% SF 의 순으로 나타났다. pH 감소에 따른 시멘트의 부식 억제 능력은 같은 pH 값에서 결합재의 종류에 따라 다양하게 나타났다. 부식전류가 $0.1-0.2{\mu}A/cm^{2}$에 이를 때 부식이 발생한다는 가정하에, 부식에 대한 임계 염소이온 농도에 대하여 OPC는 1.03, 30% PFA는 0.65, 60% GGBS는 0.45, 10% SF는 0.98%로 각각 계산되었다. 그에 비해 임계 염소이온 농도의 새로운 표현방법으로 제시한 [$Cl^{-}$]:[$H^{+}$] 몰 농도비의 단위로 계산하였을 때, 임계 염소이온 농도는 결합재에 관계없이 0.008-0.009로 도출되었다.
