Diffusion of Chloride Ions in Ultra High Performance Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article is dealing with study of chloride ions diffusion in ultra-high performance concrete UHPC, which might be potentially dangerous. Life of concrete structures, in particular in transport sector is jeopardized by risk of steel reinforcement corrosion with regards to exposure of the concrete surface to direct impact of de-icing salts. Measured data were examined in relation to the depth of penetration of chloride ions into the concrete structure. Experiment results proved that UHPC concretes are more resistant to penetration of chlorides than normal strength concretes.
