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

✦ Synopsis
The diffusion of hydrated chlorine ions (Cg) in concrete is influenced by the porosity and the composition of hardened cement paste. Results of the experimental series demonstrate that the addition of aluminates, granulated blast furnace slag or fly ash to ordinary Portland cement considerably reduces the diffusion rate of Cg-. The reduction of the diffusion rate depends not only on the amount and the chemical composition of the additives but also on their mineralogical structure. All these factors are incorporated in the presented mathematical formulation of the Cg-diffusion coefficient.
