This paper establishes an analytical solution for chloride diffusivity of concrete that can consider the aggregate shape. In this approach, the aggregate shape is simulated as an ellipse and the equivalent model is applied to calculate the chloride diffusivity of equivalent aggregate composed of interface transition zone (ITZ) and …
The main cause of reinforced concrete deterioration is chloride attack. Chloride ions penetrated into the concrete can destroy the passive layer around steel reinforcement provided by the high alkalinity and low pH of cement paste, activating electrochemical...
The aggregate supplier shall test for chloride on a regular basis to ensure that the processing of aggregate and sand keeps within the chloride limits initially declared to the concrete producer. Aggregates, both coarse aggregate and sand, shall have their acid soluble chloride levels tested by the aggregate
The natural coarse aggregate (NCA) in the concrete mix was partially replaced using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) by 30% with a target compressive strength of 30 …
The determination of the chloride profile in concrete structures comprises two main steps: (i) collection of samples based on a suitable Sampling Plan and (ii) chemical …
This test method is applicable when aggregates contain a high background of naturally occurring chloride (see ACI 222.1–96 ). Test Method C1152/C1152M determines acid-soluble chloride and Test Method C1218/C1218M determines water-soluble chloride.
Sampling for Crushing Test of Aggregate. For the Aggregate crushing value test, an aggregate sample passing through a 12.5 mm IS sieve and retained on a 10mm IS sieve is selected and dried to a temperature of 105 ºC to 110 ºC then cooled to room temperature. To fill the cylindrical measure mold about 6.5 kg of a sample of aggregate is sufficient.
Quantab Chloride Titrator Strips, used to estimate the chloride content of aqueous solutions in sand and fine aggregates. Two types are available: A019-01 : QUANTAB chloride titrator strips, type 1175, range 0.005% to 0.1% (30 to 600 ppm) Na Cl.
The w/b was the most influential parameter in the chloride penetration resistance, regardless of the type of binder and aggregate. The RCMT and long-term tests were able to distinguish in the same manner …
The aggregate supplier shall test for chloride on a regular basis to ensure that the processing of aggregate and sand keeps within the chloride limits initially declared to the …
Rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT) is one of the widely used test methods to rapidly assess the durability of concrete, specifically its resistance against …

Chloride is an electrolyte in your blood that helps keep you hydrated. A chloride blood test measures this electrolyte and tells you if your levels are high or low.
All aggregate technicians use the sieve analysis (gradation test) to determines the gradation (the particle size distribution, by size, within a given sample) in order to determine compliance with design, production …
This is a multi-part document divided into the following parts: Part 1 Tests for chemical properties of aggregates. Chemical analysis. Part 3 Tests for chemical properties of …
Performing acid-soluble chloride on aggregate containing chemically bound chloride can end up over-estimating the chemically available chloride because a sample is crushed to a fine powder prior to analysis, which allows chloride that would otherwise remain bound in the aggregate to be extracted. The process of chloride analysis.
This test is usually ordered as part of an electrolyte or metabolic panel. Symptoms of high chloride levels depend on the underlying cause, such as dehydration or metabolic acidosis. Other potential causes include high salt intake, underlying electrolyte imbalances, and certain genetic disorders.

Knowing the chloride content of concrete is critical in determining the potential for steel reinforcing to corrode within the concrete.
The analysis was based on an experimental investigation of chloride levels in mixing water, aggregates, and concrete. The analysis also used the maximal total chloride limits of British Standards for the concrete in conjunction with other ingredients required for the mix. ... American Society for Testing and Materials, Philadelphia ...
Concrete Chloride Testing is done to know the chloride content in the concrete. Let's discuss, how it is done and its effects.
Obtain chloride and sulfate contents in ppm as determined by the ion chromatograph. Use conversion factors to convert to ppm chloride and sulfate content in the original …
A chloride test measures the chloride in your blood. Chloride is a mineral that helps maintain the acid-base balance in your body. Learn more.
Chloride results in the corrosion of reinforcing steel which deteriorates concrete structures. Learn how to prevent corrosion and optimize service-life
Scope. 1.1 This test method provides procedures for sampling and analysis of aggregate for water-extractable chloride using a Soxhlet extractor. Note 1: This test method is to be used when significantly high chloride content has been found in …
This article is about the laboratory test used to measure the amount of chloride in the fluid portion (serum) of the blood. How the Test is Performed A blood sample is needed.
A description of the chloride test - what it tests for, when to get one, and what your next steps may be.
chloride limit by conducting the water-soluble chloride test. If the test results exceed the criteria, the test is typically repeated after changing one or more of the ingredient materials. If concrete had been placed prior to the availability of the chloride test results it may call into question the concrete that has been placed.
What if both the coarse and fine aggregates contain chloride? (If so, you could have nearly 2 pounds of chloride per cubic yard, or 0.4% chloride by weight of …
Aggregate sampling and testing are performed for various reasons, including preliminary investigation of supply sources, production quality control at the supply source, quality control at the construction or industrial process site, and acceptance or rejection (quality assurance) of materials by customers or project owners.
The existing short-term tests are then presented. For each test, the procedure, the theoretical basis, and any advantages and disadvantages are presented. Also included in this document as an appendix is a glossary of some of the common terms related to chloride ingress testing and measurement. ... type of coarse aggregate used in …
