• Abstract:
  The objective of this project was to determine appropriate screening thresholds for tests that assess concrete durability in extremely aggressive chloride and sulfate environments. Specifically, the research aimed to recommend threshold values for bulk and surface resistivity tests (based on AASHTO TP 119 and T 358) for chloride durability, and for a rapid sulfate electrochemical test for sulfate durability, while also developing prediction equations that relate 28-day test results to 56-day performance.
