(102-mm) nominal diameter cores or cylinders during a6-h period. A potential difference of 60 V dc is maintainedac

The total charge passed, in coulombs, has been foundto be related to the resistance of the specimen to chloride ionpenetration.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method co
9、vers the laboratory evaluation of theelectrical conductance of concrete samples to provide a rapidindication of their resistance to chloride ion penetration. Inmost cases the electrical conductance results have shown goodcorrelation with chloride ponding tests, such as AASHTOT 259, on companion slab
10、s cast from the same concretemixtures (Refs 1-5).4.2 This test method is suitable for evaluation of materialsand material proportions for design purposes and research anddevelopment.4.3 Sample age has significant effects on the test results,depending on the type of concrete and the curing procedure.
11、Most concretes, if properly cured, become progressively andsignificantly less permeable with time.4.4 This test method was developed originally for evalua-tions of alternative materials, but in practice its use has evolvedto applications such as quality control and acceptance testing.In such cases i
12、t is imperative that the curing procedures and theage at time of testing be clearly specified.4.5 Table 1 provides a qualitative relationship between theresults of this test and the chloride ion penetrability ofconcrete.4.6 Care should be taken in interpreting results of this testwhen it is used on
13、surface-treated concretes, for example,concretes treated with penetrating sealers. The results from thistest on some such concretes indicate low resistance to chlorideion penetration, while 90-day chloride ponding tests on com-panion slabs show a higher resistance.1This test method is under the juri

This includes specimens withactual diameters ranging from 3.75 in. (95 mm) to 4.0 in. (102mm). Other specimen diameters may be tested with appr
18、opriatechanges in the applied voltage cell design (see 7.5 and Fig. 1).4.7.1 For specimen diameters other than 3.75 in. (95 mm),the test result value for total charge passed must be adjustedfollowing the procedure in 11.2. For specimens with diametersless than 3.75 in. (95 mm), particular care must
19、be taken incoating and mounting the specimens to ensure that the con-ductive solutions are able to contact the entire end areas duringthe test.5. Interferences5.1 This test method can produce misleading results whencalcium nitrite has been admixed into a concrete. The resultsfrom this test on some s
20、uch concretes indicate higher coulombvalues, that is, lower resistance to chloride ion penetration,than from tests on identical concrete mixtures (controls)without calcium nitrite. However, long-term chloride pondingtests indicate the concretes with calcium nitrite were at least asresistant to chlor
21、ide ion penetration as the control mixtures.NOTE 1Other admixtures might affect results of this test similarly.Long term ponding tests are recommended if an admixture effect issuspected.5.2 Since the test results are a function of the electricalresistance of the specimen, the presence of reinforcing
22、 steel orother embedded electrically conductive materials may have asignificant effect. The test is not valid for specimens containingreinforcing steel positioned longitudinally, that is, providing acontinuous electrical path between the two ends of the speci-men.TABLE 1 Chloride Ion Penetrability B

Test Specimens8.1 Sample preparation and selection depends on t
37、he pur-pose of the test. For evaluation of materials or their propor-tions, samples may be (a) cores from test slabs or from largediameter cylinders or (b) 4-in. (102-mm) diameter cast cylin-ders. For evaluation of structures, samples may be (a) coresfrom the structure or (b) 4-in. (102-mm) diameter
38、 cylinderscast and cured at the field site. Coring shall be done with adrilling rig equipped with a 4-in. (102-mm) diameter diamond-dressed core bit. Select and core samples following proceduresin Test Method C 42/C 42M. Cylinders cast in the laboratoryshall be prepared following procedures in Pract
39、ice C 192/C 192M. When cylinders are cast in the field to evaluate astructure, care must be taken that the cylinders receive thesame treatment as the structure, for example, similar degree ofconsolidation, curing, and temperature history during curing.NOTE 3The maximum allowable aggregate size has n
40、ot been estab-lished for this test. Users have indicated that test repeatability issatisfactory on specimens from the same concrete batch for aggregates upto 25.0 mm (1 in.) nominal maximum size.8.2 Transport the cores or field-cured cylinders to thelaboratory in sealed (tied) plastic bags. If speci

(51 6 3 mm) slice from the top of the coreor cylinder, with the cut parallel to the top of the co
42、re. Thisslice will be the test specimen. Use a belt sander to remove anyburrs on the end of the specimen.8.4 Special processing is necessary for core samples wherethe surface has been modified, for example, by texturing or byapplying curing compounds, sealers, or other surface treat-ments, and where
43、 the intent of the test is not to include theeffect of the modifications. In those cases, the modified portionof the core shall be removed and the adjacent 2 618 in. (51 63 mm) slice shall be used for the test.9. Conditioning9.1 Vigorously boil a litre or more of tapwater in a largesealable containe
44、r. Remove container from heat, cap tightly,and allow water to cool to ambient temperature.9.2 Allow specimen prepared in Section 8 to surface dry inair for at least 1 h. Prepare approximately12 oz (10 g) of rapidsetting coating and brush onto the side surface of specimen.Place the sample on a suitab
45、le support while coating to ensurecomplete coating of sides. Allow coating to cure according tothe manufacturers instructions.9.3 The coating should be allowed to cure until it is nolonger sticky to the touch. Fill any apparent holes in the coatingand allow additional curing time, as necessary. Plac

Seal desiccator and start vacuum pump or aspirator.Pressure should decrease to less than 50 mm Hg (6650
47、 Pa)within a few minutes. Maintain vacuum for 3 h.9.4 Fill separatory funnel or other container (see 6.1.1) withthe de-aerated water prepared in 9.1. With vacuum pump stillrunning, open water stopcock and drain sufficient water intobeaker or container to cover specimen (do not allow air to enterdesi
