## Abstract The time of incubation (TI) and chloride threshold (CT) necessary to initiate corrosion of reinforcement steel are crucial variables to predict the useful life of an infrastructure in any model. For black steel there is a great amount of data in the bibliography. However, for galvanized

โฆ Synopsis
Three cements with variable CsA contents were mixed with different levels of chloride, alkali and sulfate contents to study the effect of these parameters on pore solution composition. Effect of exposure temperature was also studied by curing the chloride-treated specimens at 200 and 70ยฐC. Pore solution was extracted using a high pressure pore solution extrusion device and analysed for chloride and hydroxyl ion concentrations. Threshold chloride for onset of reinforcement corrosion was computed using threshold [Cl-/OH-] ratio of 0.3. The results showed that CsA content and exposure temperature have very strong influence on threshold chloride content. Alkali content of cement has marginal effect whereas presence of sulfates along with chlorides has moderate effect on the threshold chloride content.
