β¦ Synopsis
The effect of chloride, sulfate and chloride-sulfate solutions on corrosion of steel embedded in cement paste has been investigated. The reinforcement corrosion was evaluated by measuring corrosion potentials and corrosion current density using D.C. linear polarization resistance technique. Results indicate that the corrosion activity was very minimal in specimens immersed in pure sulfate solution. The reinforcement corrosion activity was found to be higher in specimens immersed in chloride-sulfate solutions as compared to those immersed in pure chloride solution. The corrosion rate was observed :o be doubled when the sulfate concentration in 15.7% C1-solution was raised from 0.55 to 2.1%.

Pore solution study has been carried out on 2.43 and 14% C3A hardened cement pastes. Data have been analyzed in conjunction with the data developed in two pore solution studies made by Page and Vennesland and Diamond using 7.37 and 9.1% C3A mature cement pastes. The results show that C3A and alkali
The effects of sulfate and CO1 on chloride penetration fronts and diffisivities were determined at 60 months exposure for ordinary Portland cement concrete and concrete incorporating the partial replacement of the cement with slag. It was found that sulfate and CO2 decrease the chloride penetration
