Chloride penetration in binary and ternary blended cement concretes as measured by two different rapid methods

In this study, the two rapid chloride permeability tests; the AASHTO’s rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT) and the University of Cape Town (UCT) chloride conduction test were employed and compared using concrete specimens cast with effective w/b ratio of 0.48 and applying seven days of curing. Fly ash and blast furnace slag were used in a systematic replacement of cement at the levels of 25%, 50%, and 70%. In addition, silica fume was added...
