Study of chloride binding and diffusion in GGBS concrete
Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and OPC/ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS) 70%, with or without 5% sulfates, were widely investigated in respect to their pore structures, chloride diffusion coefficients, internal and external chloride-binding capabilities by expression method and leaching method and the microstructure analysis on Friedel's salt such as differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It can be concluded that GGBS can improve the pore structure of OPC and decrease the chloride diffusion coefficient greatly, and that sulfates do not do good for the pore structure and chloride diffusion for GGBS. GGBS increases the chloride-binding capability greatly without reference to the internal or external chloride and sulfates decrease the chloride-binding capability of GGBS greatly. It can be also found that the maximum intensity peak corresponding to Friedel's salt appears at about 8.0 A, its endothermic effect appears at about 360 deg. C, its morphology is hexagonal slice whose size is about 2-3 {mu}m; that the output of Friedel's salt formed by GGBS is much more than OPC; and that sulfates influence the output of Friedel's salt greatly. The corresponding mechanism was also analyzed.
