Analysis of Durability of High Performance and Ordinary Concrete Mixtures with Respect to Chlorides

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper is focused on the evaluation of chloride ingress considering high performance and ordinary concrete mixtures. The effect of concrete maturing is investigated as well. The selected laboratory measurements are used for the description of resistance of concrete against ingress of chlorides. The Finite Element-based numerical model is applied in order to evaluate the effect of concrete type as well as the effect of aging.
