Popis: Long-term studies under various natural exposure conditions are still needed in order to understand and quantify ageing and durability of concrete structures, in particular in the case of mixtures which incorporate supplementary cementitious materials (e.g. fly ash). With this purpose, a large-scale and long-term experimental program was initiated a lot of years ago by the LPC network within the framework of the French national project 'BHP 2000'. From then, further researches have been carried out in order to complement the program. The present paper focuses on chloride penetration in concrete samples in lab conditions and in reinforced concrete (RC) structural elements exposed for 10years to two different natural environments (tidal zone in marine environment, as well as road and cold environment). Numerous mixtures (28day cylinder compressive strengths ranging from 20 to 130MPa) were studied in these various conditions, e.g. high-performance materials with or without silica fume (SF), as well as normal-strength fly-ash (FA) concretes. Carbonation and chloride penetration depths, along with total chloride concentration and degree of saturation profiles, have been measured on the RC structural elements and analyzed as a function of the exposure conditions and of the mix-parameters. In addition, the chloride data have been compared to lab results. Apparent chloride diffusion coefficients, as well as chloride binding isotherms and capacities, have also been assessed on these structural elements and compared to lab results. Good consistence between results in field and in lab conditions has been highlighted, except when carbonation has affected the field results. In addition, the good performance of SF-HPCs and mature FA concretes has been pointed out in the tested outdoor conditions, as well as that of the mature ground granulated blast furnace slag concretes tested in lab.
