In their paper, Berntsson and Chandra make rather emotive conclusions about the influence of calcium chloride on concrete durabillty based on litt]e, If any, substantive evidence. Having just read "The Chloride Scare" by Ted Webster (1), our reaction to the Swedish paper was inevitable.
The influence of mechanical loading effects on carbonation or chloride penetration is studied. Specimens are reinforced concrete beams of 3 m long which are stored in a mechanical loading state and in aggressive environments. Carbonated cover depths and chloride contents are measured. The results sh
