Relationship Between the Vertical Profile of Marine Aerosol Salinity and the Chloride Accumulation into Concrete
This paper analyses the influence of height from the ground on the vertical distribution of marine aerosol salinity. It considers altitudes between 1.5 and 10 m from the ground in a region under the major influence of surf produced aerosol and its impact on chloride accumulation into concrete along time. Results show that the rate of chloride deposition on wet candle markedly decreases when the altitude increases and this relationship can be represented by a power decay function. The impact of the salinity decrease with altitude on chloride accumulation into concrete is significant and can surpass the level of 50% after 50 years of exposure. As a consequence, this behaviour should be considered when analysing the performance of vertical concrete structures placed in marine atmosphere zone.
