The durability of steel reinforced-concrete specimens made from three alkali-activated fly ash (FA) stockpiles and ordinary portland cement (OPC) in cyclic wet-dry chloride environment was evaluated over a period of 12 months. Testing methods included electrochemical methods, chloride diffusion and contents analysis, chemical and mechanical analyses, and visual examination. Geopolymer concrete (GPC) specimens made from Class F FA exhibited lower diffusion coefficients, chloride contents, and porosity compared with their GPC Class C FA and OPC counterparts. Overall, GPC specimens displayed limited signs of leaching and corrosion product formation, whereas OPC specimens exhibited the formation of multiple corrosion products along with significant leaching.
