Abstract

This study presents findings related to chloride permeability of several widely used Texas Department of Transportation bridge deck concrete mixtures. The rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT) was selected and seven mix designs were tested; five were evaluated using cores taken from field-cast model bridge decks and the other two from laboratory-cast specimens. Mix designs were selected based on their extent of use around the state, with differences in terms of type of cement, coarse aggregate type, and supplementary cementitious materials. Wet-mat curing durations of 0, 2, 4, 8, 10 and 14 days were evaluated for each mix. Experimental results showed that no significant benefit for resistance to chloride permeability beyond 2, 4 or 8 days depending on the mixture, beyond which the benefits appeared to diminish. A comparison of results obtained from the RCPT and its alternative test; the ponding test, showed a correlation between their results for some mixtures.
