Abstract

Chloride induced corrosion is a major factor affecting the service life of concrete structures. The likely effect of using silica fume to reduce chloride penetration has been measured using a ponding type experiment and an electrical method. It is concluded that due to the special properties of the silica fume mixes the electrical test is not a reliable way of measuring the effect but they are less permeable than the ordinary portland cement mixes.
