Abstract

Chloride-induced corrosion is the main threat to the service life of concrete structures. In order to better investigate chloride distribution in offshore concrete, this study proposed a new prediction model based on statistical analysis as well as a large body of experimental results collected from various sources. A detailed discussion found that the key influential parameters, such as diffusion coefficient (D), surface chloride concentration (CS) and penetration depth (x) are all highly time-dependent. The exposure zone, water-cement ratio and service time were also considered as relevant factors. The proposed model is then validated by two alternative tests and the results suggest that it is feasible in predicting the chloride content and penetration depth of concrete structures in a marine environment under chloride attack.
