Study on the Durability of Concrete under an Underwater Coupling Environment by Chunhua You, Gen He

“…It is suggested that the water-cement ratio of 0.34 and the cementitious material of 480 kg/m3 be selected for the preparation of the pile foundation concrete; when the content of fly ash is 15%, the antisulfuric acid corrosion ability of the concrete cementitious system can be enhanced and the concrete with 40% mineral powder has strong antichloride ion corrosion ability; the results show that the chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete samples with seven mix proportions is less than 6∗10–12 m2/s, which can meet the durability design requirements and reduce the damage of concrete. …”
