Chloride-induced corrosion is the primary cause of deterioration in many concrete bridges in Canada and the northern United States. For corrosion to take place, the chloride ions permeate through the interconnected pores of the concrete toward the embedded steel reinforcement and attack the passive layer that forms around the steel during the hydration process of concrete. Once this passive layer is destroyed, corrosion proceeds, resulting in a reduction in the structural integrity of the structure in addition to the onset of spalling of the concrete cover. To restore the serviceability of the structure and extend its service life, the deteriorated concrete is usually removed, the reinforcement is replaced if necessary, and the concrete is replaced with a durable repair material that has high resistance to chloride ion transport. In the province of Ontario, Canada, partially deteri-orated concrete bridge soffits are typically repaired with shotcrete containing silica fume.
