Abstract
The depth of chloride penetration was found to be in excess of 100-mm (4 in.) for the concrete specimens without fly ash, whereas the presence of fly ash significantly decreased the depth of penetration to approximately 30 and 40 mm in specimens containing either normal density or lightweight aggregate, respectively. The increased penetration in the concrete with lightweight aggregates is attributed to the surface erosion observed with these concretes. The results from the chloride permeability testing also indicate significant increases in the resistance to chloride-ion penetration for fly ash concrete.
