Influence of Flexural Loading on Permeablility of Chloride Ion and Diffusion Coefficients in RC Beams

Abstract:

The permeability of chloride ion in concrete can be studied using the accelerated aging method in a short period, but the influence of loading characteristic on chloride ion permeability and diffusion coefficients is not considered generally. Three RC beam (120 mm×240 mm×2400 mm) specimens with different flexural loading state are exposed in an artificial corrosion container filled with salt-fog of 5.0 % sodium chloride for 40 days, the chloride ion concentration in different depths of compressive and tensile region are measured, diffusion coefficients of different region concrete are fitted on the basis of Fick’s second law, the effect of flexural loading on chloride ion concentration and diffusion coefficients of concrete are analyzed. The results show that the effect of the flexural load influences permeability of chloride ion and diffusion coefficients of concrete, content of chloride and diffusion coefficients of concrete are controlled by loading level, and the bending load is one of the important factors that can not be ignored in the study of concrete durability.
