Abstract-This study was performed to evaluate chloride ion penetration depths in concrete produced with high early strength Portland cement with and without silica fume replacement (10% by mass). Two curing procedures were used to produce precast structures curing: air and steam curing at 60 ºC. Chloride ion depths were measured at 90 days by spraying a solution of 0.1N AgNO3 at specimen surfaces. The results showed that Chloride ion penetration depth in silica fume concrete was diminished.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
