Concrete durability presented by acceptable chloride level and chloride diffusion coefficient in concrete: 10-year results in marine site

Generally, concrete with high resistance to the marine environment should have high compressive strength, a low chloride diffusion coefficient (D _C), and a high acceptable chloride level (Ac). Considering all parameters simultaneously, this study evaluated the degree of fly ash concrete durability based on 10-year results in a marine site. Based on the concrete durability (Ac/D _C, as compared to cement concrete with a W/B ratio of 0.45) and compressive strength, the degree of concrete durability proposed in this study indicates that fly ash concretes with a W/B ratio of 0.45 and 15–35 wt % fly ash replacement exhibit high-quality performance in a marine site.
