More Details: Abstract Chloride-induced steel corrosion is known to be a very common kind of deterioration of reinforced concrete. It is beneficial to bind free chloride ions to reduce the corrosion probability of the reinforcement embedded in the concrete. The binding capacity of the concrete varies according to its cementitious system. This paper investigates the chloride binding capacity of different kinds of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs): Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), Fly ash, and Metakaolin as a partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Different properties of concrete after chloride binding are assessed by carrying out the following tests: half-cell potential, accelerated corrosion test, compressive strength, rapid chloride penetration test, sorptivity test, measuring pH value of concrete, and XRD. The results showed that utilizing the SCMs in concrete can enhance the chloride binding capacity, especially those materials that have high quantities of aluminate and calcium in their chemical composition like GGBFS. Based on testing results, it’s recommended that the limit of the chloride content in the different codes should be revised regarding the binding capacity according to the type and quantity of the cementitious materials used.
