Abstract
In this paper, the Rapid Chloride Permeability Test (RCPT)-ASTM C1202-91 and Conductance test were employed to measure the effect of curing time on the chloride penetration resistance of concrete. The results indicate that the concrete specimens with longer curing time have higher chloride penetration resistance no matter the concrete with or without mineral admixtures, the concrete conductance has the similar variation trend and similar mathematical descriptions as the chloride diffusion coefficient D with the passage of curing time, and it is a very useful method to measure concrete conductance to estimate the chloride permeability variation at different curing or exposure time.
