Method of Analysis for Chloride Distribution in Concrete from Torrent DataBy Md. Shafiqul Islam, Toshiharu Kishi
Abstract: Design w/c ratio becomes less important than achieved cover performance in the case of existing structure. Therefore, inspection data of chloride profile from some real structures do not always obey the rule of Fick’s law, suggesting the influence of a new parameter. In this study, chloride ion profiles and behavior of penetrating water for normal, fly ash and slag concrete with w/c ratio as 40, 55, and 70%, respectively, cast …

Estimation of Life Cycle Cost of RC Infrastructure Using Different Analysis MethodsBy Md. Shafiqul Islam, Toshiharu Kishi
Abstract: Accuracy of service life prediction largely influence life cycle cost of infrastructure. Recent research come up with the conclusion that ingression of chloride to cover concrete is dependent on the water penetration front which dramatically change the service life. Therefore, in this study chloride ion profiles and behavior of penetrating water for slag concrete with w/c ratio as 40%, 55% and 70%, respectively, cast in laboratory, were examined. Furthermore, life …
