Chloride penetration into concrete in marine environment-Part I: Main parameters affecting chloride penetration

摘要

The durability of concrete structures exposed to marine environment depends mainly on the ability of concrete to resist to chloride ingress. This complex phe- nomenon depends on many parameters related to the concrete properties and to the micro-environmental characteristics. This paper presents the results of an experimental study where fifty four 1.0×0.5×0.12 m concrete panels were exposed to marine environment for three to five years.
