    Permeability is defined as the rate of flow of fluid into a porous solid like concrete. Concrete permeability significantly affects its durability, as higher permeability allows more harmful substances like chloride ions to penetrate, causing issues like steel corrosion. Permeability is determined by the pore structure of concrete - higher permeability is usually caused by higher porosity, making the concrete more vulnerable to substances that can cause corrosion or sulfate attack.

    18.1
    Permeability defined as the rate of flow of a fluid into a porous solid. Concrete durability is
    significantly affected by its permeability. Concrete is a porous material. Therefore, moisture
    movement can occur by flow, diffusion, or absorption.
    Permeability controls the rate of entry of moisture that may contain aggressive chemicals and the
    movement of water during heating or freezing. Higher permeability causes poorer durability.
    It is because permeability reflects the pore structure system of the concrete. Higher permeability
    is usually caused by higher porosity, it causes the concrete more vulnerable to the penetration of
    harmful substances chloride ions sulfate minimize steel corrosion and sulfate attack.

    Extra Q
    Blast furnace slag is a by-product of the extraction of iron from iron ore.

    GGBFS is a mineral admixture with both cementitious and pozzolanic properties.

    Fresh

    Reduce heat of hydration and early temperature rise. Replace cement.


    Less cement hydration. Less heat produced.

    improves workability. Due to the spherical shape, which replace the


    regular/irregular particiles

    decreases the water demand due to the increase in paste volume caused by
    the lower relative density of slag. The higher strength potential of Grade 120
    slag may allow for a reduction of total cementitious material. In such cases,
    further reductions in water demand may be possible.

    Setting times of concretes containing slag increases as the slag content


    increases.

    The rate and quantity of bleeding in concrete containing slag or slag cements
    is usually less than that in concrete containing no slag because of the
    relatively higher fineness of slag.

    Effect on Strength of Hardened Concrete


    strength development of concrete incorporating slags is slow at 1-5 days
    compared with that of the control concrete. Between 7 and 28 days, the
    strength approaches that of the control concrete; beyond this period, the
    strength of the slag concrete exceeds the strength of control concrete
    (Admixtures and ground slag 1990).

    Flexural strength is usually improved. the result of the stronger bonds in the
    cement-slag-aggregate system because of the shape and surface texture of
    the slag particles.

    Effects on Durability, Permeability of Hardened Concrete. Incorporation of


    granulated slags in cement paste helps in the transformation of large pores in
    the paste into smaller pores. Increase CSh and reduce CH leads to more
    homogenous microstructure. resulting in improvement on the overall pososity
    and pore size. Thus decreased permeability of the matrix and of the concrete,
    thus increase durability. The above improvemnents increase sulfate
    resistance and reduce chloride diffusion.
