CO: No risk of carbonation (i.e.) concrete which will remain dry during its service life
or concrete permanently submerged in water.

humidity, exposed concrete sheltered from rain.
C2: Cyclic wet and dry (i.e.) concrete exposed to rain and not sheltered.

Note about presciptions
• Strength grade – minimum M25
• Binder content inclusive of mineral admixtures
• Cover may be modified: (a) for thin sections,
slabs, fins, (b) when higher grades of concrete
are used, (c) min 50 mm to be maintained in
foundation
• For the future – specify only strength, along
with w/c: requirement on cementitious
content must go!

RCPT
For the Class F fly ash the drop in charge passed is significant even at lower
dosages.
Class F fly ash mixes show low charge passed at all replacement levels.
Chloride Conductivity
All combination mixes performed well with Slag A and Class C fly ash mix having
the lowest chloride conductivity.
This indicates that a Slag A and Class C fly ash may be a more economical and
durable option in marine condition compared to the use of Slag A alone.
Oxygen Permeability
Class C and Class F combination mix would be the most economical and durable
combination in chimneys were gaseous permeation is likely to occur.

• 2 categories of mixtures
• Commonly used design mixes
– Four groups based on the total binder content
and water binder ratio (280, 0.65; 340, 0.55;
310,0.5 and 310,0.6)
• Design mixes having limiting prescriptive
values
– Concrete mixtures recommended in the IS
456:2000 for different exposure conditions
– Concrete mixtures recommended in the proposal
by Saravanan and Santhanam (2012)

Wenner resistivity test results on mixes with total binder content of 310 kg/m3
and w/b 0.5
Effect of mineral admixtures on chloride ion penetrability
RCPT results on mixes with total binder content of 310 kg/m3 and w/b 0.5
Effect of mineral admixtures on chloride ion migration
ACMT results on mixes with total binder content of 310 kg/m3 and w/b 0.5
How to use this data?
• Explore correlations between tests
• Use combinations of test parameters for
assessing concrete quality in a specific
environment
- e.g. Concrete submerged in seawater: (i)
Resistivity and (ii) Chloride diffusion
• Strength grade classification – concrete with
mineral admixtures can produce durable
concrete even at low grades
