This paper considers transference number in calculating diffusion coefficient of chloride ions of concrete and mercury intrusion porosimetry to investigate the volume and distribution of pore size, respectively, analyzing and discussing the property of resistance to chloride ion of concrete with granulated blast furnace slag. The experimental results show that the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion decreases with the rise of quantity of granulated blast furnace slag and pore structure of concrete with granulated blast furnace slag is different from that of OPC concrete. And from the results of regression analysis, the result showed that the diffusion coefficient of chloride ions is affected by capillary pore above 50nm.

To improve the quality of concrete, we usually consider the reduction of water/cement ratio, the increase of concrete cover depth and the use of mineral admixtures. Reportedly, the use of admixtures make concrete more durable and tighten against water. But, it is needed to study more about the relationship between the admixtures and the chloride ion diffusion. Therefore, in this study, we focused on the chloride ion diffusion properties of the pozzolanic admixtures such as fly-ash, slag and silica fume which are known as being useful on chloride attack resistance when mixed into mortar or concrete. Furthermore, we treed to analyze the correlation between mortar and concrete using the admixture, which is useful for analyzing chloride ion diffusion mechanism.

In order to predict the onset of the corrosion of steel bars in concrete, a mathematical model was presented to observe the diffusion of chloride ion in aqueous phase, the adsorption and desorption of chloride ions to and from the surface of solid phase of concrete, and the chemical reaction or chloride ions with solid phase. The finite element method was employed to carry out the numerical analysis. The chlorides enetrating through the wall of the concrete structure from the external environment and the chlorides contained in the concrete admixture were confirmed to be two important factors to determine the onset of the corrosion of steel bars.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the amount of chloride penetration into concrete finishing materials. Chloride ion migration test was used rapid infiltration method proposed by 'NT-Build 492'. The kind of coated finishing material is 'None-finished(N)', 'Cement Mortal(M)', 'Water based paint(P)', 'Bone-Tile(B)', 'Repair Mortal(R1)' in this paper.

The degradation of reinforced concrete (RC) structures due to physical and chemical attacks has been a major issue in construction engineering. Deterioration of RC structures due to chloride attack followed by reinforcement corrosion is one of the serious problems. The objective of this study is to develop a form of mathematical model of chloride ingress into concrete. In order to overcome some limits of the previous approaches, a mathematical model of chloride ingress into concrete consisting of chloride solution intrusion through the capillary pore and chloride ion diffusion through the pore water was proposed. Moreover, the variability of diffusivity of chloride ion due to degree of hydration of concrete, relative humidity in pore, exposure condition, and variation of chloride binding was considered in the chloride ingress model.

The Marine concrete that located at immersion zone receives an hydrostatic pressure of 1 atm as depth of the water increased by 10 m. And it could accelerate chloride ion penetration. In this study, to evaluate the influence of hydrostatic pressure on chloride ion penetration, concrete mixed by ordinary Portland cement and Portland blast-furnace slag cement was exposed to 1 and 6 atm and substitute ocean water. As a result, the surface chloride ion concentration of the concrete under 6 atm of hydrostatic pressure increased rapidly and the water-soluble chloride ion contents was increased by depth. In addition, the concrete under 6 atm of hydrostatic pressure showed the increase of capillary pores corresponding to 5~100 nm.

This study examined the potentials for developing a biological coating material with high chloride resistance. The bacteria strains isolated were Halomonas alkaliphile, Halomonas venusta, and Sulfidobacter mediterraneus. Test results revealed that the developed approach is very promising in reducing the chloride ion diffusion coefficient of concrete.

When the RC structure repaired by patching repair method, which method refilles with patching repair material after removes degraded area, It is necessary to determine chloride ion's permeation from outside of the RC structure repaired by patching repair material. Therefore, in this study, damage from sea environment of structure was predicted, moreover, diffusion coefficient of concrete also determined to figure out rebar's corrosion and concentration of chloride ion. RCPT(Rapid Chloride Permeability Test) was used for ditermination of patching repair material's diffusion coefficient, also connection between material thickness and effect of chloride ion's permeation was examined in analytically. Results which derived by experimental test was used in FEM(Finite Element Method) and equation suggested by JSCE to predict concentration of chloride ion in different distance from surface.

This paper utilizes the modified Davis model and the mode coupling theory, as parts of the electrolyte solution theory, to investigate the diffusivity of the ion in concrete. Firstly, a computational model of the ion diffusion coefficient, which is associated with ion species, pore solution concentration, concrete mix parameters including water-cement ratio and cement volume fraction, and microstructure parameters such as the porosity and tortuosity, is proposed in the saturated concrete. Secondly, the experiments, on which the chloride diffusion coefficient is measured by the rapid chloride penetration test, have been carried out to investigate the validity of the proposed model. The results indicate that the chloride diffusion coefficient obtained by the proposed model is in agreement with the experimental result. Finally, numerical simulation has been completed to investigate the effects of the porosity, tortuosity, water-cement ratio, cement volume fraction and ion concentration in the pore solution on the ion diffusion coefficients. The results show that the ion diffusion coefficient in concrete increases with the porosity, water-cement ratio and cement volume fraction, while we see a decrease with the increasing of tortuosity. Meanwhile, the ion concentration produces more obvious effects on the diffusivity itself, but has almost no effects on the other ions.

Recently, premature reinforcement corrosion in concrete structures exposed to chloride containing environments has an important problem. This is due to an increasing use of marine aggregate of chloride containing admixture a the mixing stage and due to an increase of concrete construction in marine environments. In this study, the behavior of chloride ions introduced into concrete from concrete surface by a marine environment was modeled. The physicochemcial processes including the diffusion of chloride ion in aqueous phase of pores, the adsorption and desorption of chloride ions to and from the surface of solid phase of concrete, and the chemical reaction of chloride ion with solid phase were analyzed by using the finite element method. The results of this study may be used to predict the onset of reinforcement corrosion, and identify the maximum limit of chloride ions contained in admixtures.
