Samples from specified depths are peri-odically extracted and chemically analyzed to determine thechloride content of the concrete at those depths. The curing andmoisture conditioning to which a specimen is sub

Cast a 100 by 200-m
17、m cylinderfrom the concrete mixture for this purpose when fabricatingponding specimens.8.4 Provide a dike approximately 20 mm high along theperimeter of the top surface of the specimen to retain theponding solution. The dike shall be made of a material thatadheres to the specimen or be integrally ca
18、st as a part of thespecimen. It shall serve to keep the top of the specimencovered completely by ponding solution throughout the periodof the ponding (see Note 2).NOTE 2Closed-cell polystyrene foam 12 to 25 mm thick and acrylicstrips 6 mm thick, bonded to the specimen with an adhesive caulkingcompou
19、nd or silicone sealant, have been used successfully.8.5 Coat the sides of the specimens with a suitable material(see Note 3) to prevent lateral moisture migration. Do not coatthe bottom of the specimen. Allow the coating to cureaccording to the manufacturers instructions.NOTE 3Arapid setting epoxy s
20、ufficiently viscous to adhere to verticalsurfaces without excessive running has been used successfully for thispurpose.9. Procedure9.1 Following completion of curing, cover the surface of thespecimen with the ponding solution to a depth of 15 6 5 mm.9.2 Place a glass plate or polyethylene sheet over
21、 theponded specimen to retard evaporation of water from thesolution.9.3 Store the ponded specimens at 23.0 6 2C and 50 65 % relative humidity. Provide for air circulation across thebottom of specimens.9.4 Periodically monitor the depth of solution on the surfaceof the specimen and maintain at the sp
22、ecified depth by addingadditional fresh solution. At 2-month intervals during theponding, remove the solution and replace with fresh solution.9.5 Select the duration of the ponding period and thesampling intervals to be appropriate for the purposes for whichthe tests are being made (see Note 4).NOTE
23、 4It is recommended that the initial sampling be performed after3 months ponding. Subsequent sampling can be performed after 6 and 12months of ponding and at 12-month intervals thereafter.9.6 Sampling:9.6.1 Prior to sampling, remove the ponded solution andallow the specimen surface to dry. After dry
24、ing is completed,remove the salt crystals from the surface by brushing with awire brush.9.6.2 Sample the specimen by coring. The diameter of thecore shall be at least three times the nominal maximumaggregate size.9.6.3 Alternatively, obtain powdered sample by rotary-impact hammer as described in Tes
25、t Method C1152/C1152M.9.6.4 Space the sampling point at least 25 mm away fromthe inside edge of the dike or the edge of any previoussampling point. Samples shall be obtained from at least thefollowing depths to provide a profile of the chloride penetra-tion:Sampling Intervals, mm10202535405055659.6.
26、5 If the purposes of the test require a precise profiling ofthe chloride penetration, the sampling shall be accomplishedby removing a core from the specimen. The core shall beprofiled by precision milling to obtain powdered concrete fromhorizons of the desired depth and thickness (see Note 5).NOTE 5
27、Chloride penetration profiling on 1-mm thick horizons hasbeen accomplished using this technique.9.6.6 If the specimen is to be re-ponded after sampling,patch the hole with a suitable low-permeability repair material(see Note 6).

The back-ground chloride content is su
29、btracted from the value obtainedfor each depth of the ponded specimen to determine thepenetrated chloride value.10.

MASS TRANSFER IN CONCRETEX1.1 This test measures the chloride-ion content at selecteddepths within a concrete specimen on which a sod
34、ium-chloridesolution has been maintained over an extended period of time.Differences in the chloride-ion content with depth and overtime indicate the movement of chloride ions from the solutionponded on the concrete surface into the specimen being tested.Several different mechanisms are involved to
35、greater or lesserdegrees in this transport, depending on the pore structure,moisture condition, and surface treatment of the specimen.X1.1.1 Permeability is the characteristic that describes theease with which a fluid moves through concrete.3The primarycontrolling parameter in concrete permeability
36、is the poresystem of the paste fraction of the concrete, including thepaste-aggregate interface.4The connectivity of the pore systemdepends on the amount of original mixing-water-filled spaceand the degree to which it has been filled with hydrationproducts. Capillary pores are those voids remaining
37、that wereoriginally filled with mixing water; that is, pores with diam-eters in the range of 3.2 to 3,000 nm.5These capillary poreswill cease to be connected at different times in the age of theconcrete as a function of w/c and curing conditions.6If storedmoist, these times are approximately:w/c 0.4
38、 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.7Time 3 d 14 d 6 m 1 y neverX1.1.2 Concretes containing a pozzolan or ground granu-lated blast-furnace slag show a continued decrease of pore sizeand continuity over a longer period of time than do portland-cement concretes not containing pozzzolans or slag.X1.1.3 Fluid movement in th
39、e capillary-pore system de-pends on the moisture condition of the pore system. When theconcrete is at or near saturation, movement is due to laminarflow. The rate of flow depends on the pressure head causing theflow (in this case, gravity) and the tortuosity of the intercon-nected pore space. As the
40、 partial vapor pressure (relativehumidity) falls below 1 to a value of about 0.45, vapordiffusion and capillary tension (absorption and wicking) domi-nate moisture movement. At partial vapor pressures below0.45, movement is controlled by adsorption and surface diffu-sion.4X1.1.4 In conditions of inc
41、omplete saturation where part ofthe capillary system is exposed to the atmosphere and the otherto water, capillary tension is most important in the movementof water from the saturated zone into the unsaturated zone. Inthis test method, capillary tension plays an important role ininitial chloride pen
42、etration if the specimen is subjected todrying prior to ponding. However, even if the specimen issaturated when subjected to ponding, exposure of the non-ponded bottom surface to the atmosphere will result in drying.As a consequence, moisture from the interior will be drawn bycapillary tension towar
43、d the bottom surface, increasing theflow from the sodium-chloride solution pond.X1.1.5 Ionic diffusion is the movement of ions through asolution. In this test method, the driving mechanism forchloride-ion diffusion is the concentration gradient between thesodium-chloride solution pond and the interi
44、or of the concrete.Most concrete structures have sufficient moisture in the poresystem to allow for the diffusion of dissolved ions even thoughthe internal relative humidity is less than 100 %.3Young, J.
