A concrete material having an extended service life and a process of
making is herein provided. The concrete material has at least one organic
water soluble diffusive transport modifying material that decreases the
diffusivity of deleterious species through a pore solution within the
concrete matrix. A process for making the concrete provides a variety of
methods of introduction of the at least one organic water soluble
diffusive transport modifying material into the pore solution of the
concrete. The at least one organic water soluble diffusive transport
modifying material may be added directly into a wet mix; the concrete may
be cured in a solution having the transport modifying material; the
transport modifying material may be mixed with a porous aggregate prior
to adding to a wet concrete mixture; and the at least one transport
modifying material may be introduced into the pore solution with a
combination of these methods.
