  Service Life Prediction of Concretes Incorporated with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and Icrete with respect to Chloride Ion Penetration

  By Dharma Raj Upadhyaya, Dr. B. Kameswara Rao, P. Sree Pavan

  Abstract: The reduced service life of concrete structures in coastal or de-icing salt conditions is commonly attributed to corrosion generated by chloride. Therefore, extensive research is being conducted to estimate the time taken for threshold chloride ions to reach the reinforcement and break the protective layer, initiating the corrosive process. This study conducted an experimental investigation on controlled concrete, concrete incorporating 50% GGBS, and concrete incorporating both 50% GGBS and 2% …
