Testing hardened concrete - Part 11: Determination of the chloride resistance of concrete, unidirectional diffusion
Abstract
This document describes a method for determining the unidirectional apparent chloride diffusion coefficient and surface concentration of conditioned specimens of hardened concrete. The test method enables the determination of the chloride penetration after a specified length of curing and length of exposure to NaCl solution. Since resistance to chloride penetration depends on ageing which includes the effects of continual hydration and interactions with the chloride solution, then the apparent diffusion coefficient also changes with age. A procedure to determine this ageing, expressed here by an ageing exponent, is included in this document and described in Annex A. The test procedure does not apply to concrete with surface treatments such as silanes and it does not apply to concrete containing fibres (see E.1).
