“Standard Test Method for Electrical Indication of Concrete’s Ability to Resist Chloride Ion Penetration”
What are the concerns about Chloride Ingress on durability and serviceability?
Ingress of a sufficient quantity of chloride ions will destroy the protective, passivating oxide layer on the surface of embedded
steel reinforcement, causing corrosion. The consequences of steel corrosion are cracking, spalling, or delamination of concrete
due to the increased volume of the corrosion product, and a reduction in the cross-sectional area of the steel, thus reducing the
load-carrying capacity of the reinforcement concrete element.
