✦ Synopsis

The current practice of specifying concrete for reinforcement protection is often by the standard 28-day compressive strength, water-cement ratio, and cement content. However, this form of specification may lead to misinterpretation. This paper offers an alternative approach based on performance criteria with the quality of concrete expressed in terms of water sorptivity and carbonation. The use of minimum 28-day strengths as deemed-to-comply values for these criteria is also discussed.
