DURABILITY OF CONCRETE - QUALITY CRITERIA . NORDIC CONCRETE RESEARCH. PUBLICATION NO 7

The rate of carbonation and penetration of chlorides into concrete have been studied by field exposures and accelerated laboratory test methods. The results are compared. Five concretes of different material composition but of same compressive strength have been tested. Other experimental variables were use of silica fume, curing condition and cement content. Accelerated test methods are found to classify the different concretes as found in field exposure. Curing condition and silica fume had a significant effect. Cement content had no effect.
