Electrochemical and corrosion behaviour of reinforced steel embedded in cement pastes incorporating differentamounts of silica fume as a partial replacement of cement has been studied in chloride and sulphate solutionsby using different electrochemical techniques. The results indicate that, while steel passivity degree is Iow in thecontrol samples upon soaking in the corrosive media, it has been high in samples incorporating silica fume andincreased with increasing silica fume content. The improvement effect of silica fume may be attributed to the poresolution structure of the cement paste, which limits the mobility of aggressive ions near the surface of the steel. Themechanism of steel corrosion due to chloride and sulphate attack and passivation effect of silica fume are discussed.
