The rates of chloride diffusion from seawater into concrete made with different w/c ratios and different types of cements were studied. The effect of cathodic protection on the chloride penetration was also investigated. The effect of w/c ratio on the chloride content was limited mainly to a surfa

✦ Synopsis
In the present paper, an analysis of the diffusion behavior of chloride ions in concrete is presented. In concentrated electrolytic aqueous solutions such as seawater or that typically used in laboratory experiments, the effect of ionic interaction may significantly reduce the chemical potential and thus the driving force of the diffusing species. Because of different drift velocities of the cations and chloride ions in the solution, the lagging motion of the cations will also retard the drift velocity of the chlorides. In addition, both the electrical double layer forming on the solid surface and the chemical binding may significantly interfere with the transport of the chloride ions. As a result, the diffusion behavior of the chloride ions in concrete is a more complex and complicated transport process than what can be described by Fick's law of diffusion.
