Modeling and predicting chloride diffusion in recycled aggregate
Finite element modeling. The governing equation for one-dimensional migration of chloride ions can be formulated as [49]: ∂ C ( x, t) ∂ t = D ∂ 2 C ( x, t) ∂ x 2. in which x is the position coordination (unit: mm), t is the immersion period (unit: s), C ( x, t) is the total chloride concentration at position x and time t, and D is the ...
