The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the seven plant extracts were determined using a rapid p-Iodonitrotetrazolium chloride (INT; Sigma-Aldrich, St Quentin Fallavier, France) colorimetric assay [ 35, 36].
In this study, the chloride ion penetration tests on mortars made of ceramic waste aggregates (CWAs) was conducted by using a silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution spray method and a rapid chloride migration test (steady-state condition).
The chloride content of all specimens was determined by analyzing drilled concrete samples at various depths using the Rapid chloride test (RCT) method (Germann Instruments 2006).
The chloride ions penetration can also be estimated in terms of the number of coulombs (electric charge) passed through the specimens using the rapid chloride ion penetrability test (ASTM C1202 2010).
Previous experimental study using the rapid chloride migration test has indicated that the use of ceramic waste aggregate (CWA) is effective in lowering the chloride diffusion coefficient of the 0.5 water to cement (W/C) ratio mortars and thus making mortars more durable.
Durability performance of the SCC mixes was investigated using rapid chloride penetrability test, initial surface absorption test, water penetration test, and capillary suction test.
The durability characteristics are ascertained using tests for rapid chloride permeability, alkali silica reactivity, and moisture transport parameters.
The effects of adding organic microcapsules having various particle sizes and composition on the permeability, carbonation resistance, pore structure, and self-healing efficiency of cementitious composite material were studied using rapid chloride migration, water pressure penetration, carbonation, and mercury intrusion porosimetry tests.
Since, there is evidence that DPI may also act on mitochondrial chloride channels [35], we tested the effect of the compound using a chloride free buffer system substituting gluconate for chloride in the respiratory medium.
Worms were confined to the field of view using a copper chloride corral.
