Ultrasonic Detection of Chloride Ions and Chloride Binding in Portland Cement Pastes

Abstract Chloride ions diffuse through the concrete cover and interact with the cement hydration products. As a result, some chloride ions become chemically and/or physically bound. Free chloride ions are the primary cause of steel corrosion in reinforced concrete structures. In this study, ultrasou...
