Relationship between the water absorption and the chloride ion penetration of blended cement concrete with various SCMs: A preliminary evaluation on whether water absorption can provide a reliable estimation of other transport properties

Water absorption is an indicator of other transport properties and even durability of concrete since it provides a dominant invasion mechanism for the penetration of aggressive ions. Relationship between the water absorption and the chloride ion penetration of concrete containing fly ash, slag and silica fume at various water-to-binder ratios is...
