Effect of W/B to the Time Dependent Chloride Diffusion in Concrete with GGBS

This paper studied the influence of water to binder ratio to time dependent diffusion coefficients in concrete exposed to marine environments. And a refined diffusion model which considered the time dependent apparent diffusion coefficients and time dependent surface chloride concentration was established. It was found that both apparent diffusion coefficients and surface chloride concentration are time dependent and both are significantly influenced by water to binder ratio. Apparent diffusion decrease with time while surface chloride concentration increase with time. but water to binder ratio has similar influence to the constant of time dependent diffusion coefficients and the parameter of time dependent surface chloride concentration.
