Abstract

In this study, chloride penetrations and steel corrosion of concrete containing ground rice huskbark ash (GRBA) under 5-year exposure in marine site were investigated. Control concretes were designed using Portland cement type I and V with W/B ratios of 0.45 and 0.65. The GRBA was used as a pozzolanic material to replace Portland cement type I at 0, 15, 25, 35, and 50% by weight of binder with the same W/B ratio of control concrete. The 200mm concrete cube specimens with steel bar embedded at coverings of 20, 50 and 75mm were cast. The specimens were cured in water for 28 days and then were exposed to tidal zone of marine environment in the gulf of Thailand. The specimens were tested for compressive strength, chloride penetration and corrosion of embedded steel after being exposed to tidal zone for 5 years. The GRBA concretes continuously gain strength faster than cement concretes, especially in concrete containing GRBA of 15%-35% by weight of binder. The concrete containing GRBA of 15% to 25% (by weight) reduces the chloride diffusion coefficient in concrete together with a low steel corrosion. Copyright ฉ 2011 by Research Publishing Services.
