Durability Studies (Chloride Ion Permeability) of Concrete by Using Different Types of Cements

Durability plays major role for any concrete structure. Durability is ability to resist different weathering conditions. Chloride ion permeability in concrete will effect on durability. Durable concrete will retain its original form, quality and serviceability when exposed to environment. In this present work, we have done tests on cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. We have done the mix design as per IS code 10262-2009 for concrete of grade M30. We conducted compressive strength test and rapid chloride ion permeability test on concrete of grade M30 by using different cements like Ordinary Portland Cement, Portland Pozzolana Cement& Portland Slag Cement. We conducted the RCPT to determine the penetration of chloride ions for different ages of concrete like 28days & 60days. From the results, finally we concluded that Portland Slag cement has highest resistance against chloride ion penetration.
