Testing Hardened Concrete - Part 11: Determination of the Chloride Resistance of Concrete, Unidirectional Diffusion
Also Known As:
DIN EN 12390-11 standard is a testing method used to determine the chloride resistance of hardened concrete. It specifically focuses on unidirectional diffusion of chloride ions through the concrete. This method is applicable for determining the level of chloride penetration at a specified age, which can be used to assess the quality of the concrete through comparative testing.
However, it is important to note that the resistance to chloride penetration can vary with age, as it is influenced by factors such as continual hydration. Therefore, the ranking of concrete quality may change over time. It is worth mentioning that this test method is not suitable for concrete with surface treatments like silanes, and it may not be applicable to concrete containing fibers.
