Properties of Type GP Cement Concrete Modified with Penetron Admix | ||||
Results: After 14 days cyclic exposure in 15% salt solution and drying at 40ºC show the Chloride Penetration Depth (mm) to be 19.7 for Mix-P and 26.6 for Mix-C. The ACCI accelerated chloride penetration test demonstrated at 35% reduction in the accelerated chloride penetration depth with the use of Penetron Admix in concrete Mix-P compared to the control concrete Mix-C. |

Chloride Ion Penetration of Concrete: Hardened Concrete: Accelerated Chloride Penetration | ||
Chloride Ion Diffusion Coefficient of Concrete | ||
Results: Chloride ion diffusion coefficient can directly indicate penetration velocity of chloride ions through the concrete specimens. Penetron Admix could significantly reduce the passage of chloride containing solutions and improve concrete compactness. Penetron Admix modified concrete had a 30.8% reduction at 90 days when compared to control concrete with similar slump. |

Laboratory Tests of Penetron Admix in Concrete | ||
Results: As per AASHTO-T 277, Penetron Admix treated concrete showed very low chloride permeability with 750 charges passed/coulombs. The control concrete showed high chloride permeability with 4130 charges passed/coulombs. |

Laboratory Testing of Penetron Admixture As Per NCHRP-244 Methods | ||
Results: As per the requirements of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 244, there was considerable reduction in the chloride content in the specimens treated with the Penetron. The reduction in chloride absorption by weight percent were. |

* The background chloride content of the concrete was 0.001%. All results were
corrected by subtracting the background value from the chloride results.
** All test results are the average of triplicate tests.
