Research on Chloride Diffusion Model in Pre-Stressed Concrete with Sulfate Attack

Abstract:

Chloride diffusion coefficient is significant to the durability of pre-stressed concrete in chloride environment. The factors which influence chloride diffusion coefficient in pre-stressed concrete structures eroded by chloride ion is of great importance, including porosity, chloride ion binding capacity and the stress of pre-stressed concrete etc. Based on the Fick’s second law and existing models, the model of chloride ion diffusion in pre-stressed concrete with sulfate attack is established. It is analyzed that the influence of water-binder ratio and sulfate ion concentration and erosion time on concentration distribution of chloride ion in concrete. Compared to test data and project examples, it is confirmed that the model is useful.
