Chloride ingress into steel reinforced concrete (r.c.), and the subsequent application of electrochemical chloride extraction (ECE) are shown to be considerably retarded by the presence of a carbonation front. Four concrete blocks each reinforced with two layers of steel mats in two different config

✦ Synopsis
Equations to calculate the duration of electrochemical chloride 8! extraction have been proposed and solved for the case of a constant z chloride concentration in the concrete or for a concentration following the error function trend. In the case of constant initial chloride content, both potentiostatic and galvanostatic operation have being considered, while only the potentiostatic one was considered in the case of nonconstant initial chloride profile. Potentiostatic operation has seemed to lead to an easier mathematical calculation. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the mathematical modelling and are also applied to experimental results previously published by Tritthart and Elsener.

Electrochemical chloride removal was studied using prisms made from concrete containing various levels of chlorides derived from sodium chloride added during mixing. The amount of chloride removed during the treatment was assessed by analysing the anolyte. Chloride removal increased with increasing
This paper introduces mathematical models of the compaction of a concrete mix. Models are aimed at a computer design of new building elements and of new engineering equipment. The concrete mix is described as a viscoelastic material and as a Bingham type material. Further, the air escape from the mi
