Chloride binding and its influence on the rate of reinforcement corrosion has been investigated in a range of mixes by, respectively, pore solution analysis and measuring the galvanic current in macro corrosion cells formed by embedding mild steel bars in two layers of concrete.

✦ Synopsis
It has been shown that the same quantity of C1-added to ordinary Portland cement mortar as CaCl 2, NaCI or KCI has an effect on the corrosion rate which is strongly dependent on the cation, CaCI 2 having a much more deleterious effect than either NaCI or KCI. This effect is shown to be due to a combination of a coarsening of the pore structure and a decrease in the pH of the pore solution by the CaCI2, but is not related to concentration of chloride ions remaining in the pore solution.

## Abstract Measurements have been made with mortar specimens with light aggregates (LWA) and the cements Norcem HS65 and MP30, corresponding to CEM I and CEM II. The w/b ratio was 0.30 and 0.40 and in one mix prewetted LWA was used. The silica fume addition was 8%. The specimens have two sets of e
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

## Abstract This paper provides a brief review of research aimed at characterising the steel–concrete interfacial zone (SCIZ) and its influence on the susceptibility of the metal to pitting corrosion when concrete is exposed to environments that cause ingress of chloride ions accompanied by leachin
