Standard EN Sample
Testing Hardened Concrete: Determination of the Chloride Resistance of Concrete, Unidirectional Diffusion
Also Known As:
BS EN 12390-11:2015 is a standard that provides a method for determining the chloride resistance of hardened concrete through unidirectional diffusion. The objective of this test is to assess the chloride penetration in concrete at a specified age. This information is useful for evaluating and comparing the quality of different concrete samples.
The test method described in the standard considers the effects of aging on concrete's resistance to chloride penetration, including the ongoing hydration process. It should be noted that the ranking of concrete quality may change with age due to these factors.
However, it is important to mention that the test procedure outlined in the standard is not applicable to concrete with surface treatments like silanes, which could alter the diffusion characteristics. Additionally, concrete containing fibers may not yield accurate results using this method.
