N2 - This paper presents early-age results of a durability study on CEM I cement concretes manufactured with a new non-toxic corrosion inhibitor and calcium nitrite, along with a control mix containing no additives. The new inhibitor was added to the concrete during mixing in a manner similar to the use of calcium nitrite. Tests were carried out for fresh (slump), hardened (compressive strength) and transport (sorptivity, air permeability and chloride ion migration) properties. The new inhibitor has been found to improve the permeation resistance of aggressive agents. As shown in the tests here, concrete with the new inhibitor has performed better than those without. This is achieved by blocking the pore space and adhering to the pore walls thereby making it less penetrable than other mixes in this study.
