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

β¦ Synopsis
The effect of incorporating varying percentages of sodium chloride (NaCI) and calcium chloride (CaC12) in ordinary Portland cement (OPC) mortar mixes on the free chloride ion content was investigated. After curing for 28 days with different levels of chloride ions, mixes were tested to assess the percentages of chlorides that remain in the pore solutions and those that are chemically bound by the cement hydration products. It was found that a considerable amount of chloride remains in a free form and that NaCI produces higher percentages of free chloride ions than CaCI2 at all concenm'ations up to 2% (C1-ion by mass of cement). NaC1 was also found to produce lower pH than CaCI2. Thus NaCI will present a greater threat in terms of corrosion of reinforcement than CaCI2.

Two sets of neat paste samples, prepared with an ordinary Portland cement and a ternary blended cement (containing slag and fly ash), were stored in various corrosive solutions of different pH (11.5 and 13) and chloride concentrations (up to 20 g/1 of Cl'). Structural and textural alterations were i
