A series of reinforced G109 type concrete specimens with cement of equivalent alkalinity (EqA) either 1.08 or 0.32 was cyclically ponded with a 15 w/o NaCl solution and time-to-corrosion initiation, Ti, determined. The specimens were subsequently dissected, the steel-concrete interface examined and characterized, and concrete along the top of the upper rebar sampled and analyzed for Cl-. The results revealed greater Ti and Cl- threshold for corrosion initiation, [Cl-]th, for the higher EqA specimens; however, the data were scattered for seemingly identical specimens. In many instances, corrosion initiated preferentially at entrapped air voids at the rebarconcrete interface provided diameter of these was = 2.5 mm. An explanation is proposed for the site specificity of corrosion initiation and scattered [Cl-]th that considers both entrapped air voids and the spatial distribution of coarse aggregates within the Cl- ingress path.
