A critical review is offered on the Rapid Chloride Permeability Test standarized by AASHTO, pointing out its limitations and errors but recognizing its contribution to the developing of a simple and quick test for chloride migration. Then another review is made on the electrochemical fundaments of
In the present paper an electrochemical method for accelerated testing of chloride diffusivity in concrete is presented. The method is based on a theoretical relationship between chloride diffusivity and observed steady-state rate of chloride migration through the concrete. The concentration of the
Shortening of the testing time to characterize concrete resistance to chloride penetration was the main practical improvement of the so called "Rapid Chloride Permeability Test" developed by Whiting. Recently, numerous papers were published presenting results using this method already standarized by
It is a very interesting paper [1] and the author should be congratulated for touching such an important subject and making a comprehensive review. However, while doing so the author has discussed many other topics which are not connected with the calculation of chloride difussion coefficient. For t
