title = "Influence of Mix Design on Chloride Diffusion in Concrete Structures under Temperature Gradient Conditions",
abstract = "This paper presents the influence of mix design on chloride penetration in concrete exposed to the temperature gradient condition caused by high environmental temperature in arid climate region. Concrete samples with two different w/c ratios of 0.45 and 0.65 were exposed to chloride ion environment under isothermal and temperature gradient conditions. Another set of the concrete samples with 5 \% silica fume and a control sample without silica fume were exposed to chloride ion environment under the temperature gradient condition. Results show that the chloride content of the concrete samples was significantly increased with increasing the w/c ratio. The large amount of the reduction in chloride concentration with 5 \% silica fume was observed compared with the control sample.",
