The Diffusion of Chloride Ions in Fly Ash/Cement Pastes and Mortars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
Fly ashes having three distinctly different levels of calcium, designated low-calcium (Class F), intermediate-calcium (Class F/C), and high-calcium (Class C) comprised the basic material for the present study. Pastes and mortars were made out of the three types of fly ashes and one type of cement (Type I) at various levels of replacement as well as different water/solid ratios (w/c). Chloride ion diffusion was measured by applying an electrical potential across cured cylindrical samples and measuring the amount of current passed in a certain period of time (proportional to amount of Cl− passed in this time). Other supportive measurements were made, e.g., porosity and pore size distribution, water permeability and surface area. The Cl− ion diffusivities were correlated with the chemical composition of fly ash (FA), mix proportioning, and water permeabilities of the tested hardened pastes or mortars.
