Most of the standards that evaluate the resistance of concrete against freeze-thaw cycles
(FTC) are based on the loss of weight due to scaling. Such procedures are useful but do not …

Research on freeze-thaw resistance of concrete in general and on curing and moisture
conditions in particular is motivated from an economic and product sustainability point of …

The test methods contain three steps,(1) curing and preparing the specimens,(2) pre-
saturation and (3) freeze-thaw cycles. The test liquid simulates a deicing agent and contains …

The freeze-thaw durability of concrete with and without silica fume was investigated in
accordance with the requirements of ASTM Test Method for Resistance of Concrete to Rapid …

The Freeze-thaw (FT) performance of cementitious materials is dependent on the degree of
saturation (DOS). It has been proposed that FT damage can occur during freezing when the …

This study, aimed at improving the freeze-thaw resistance of concrete, consists of three
parts. Part I evaluates parameters affecting the freeze-thaw durability of concrete. A …

The use of the pressure tension test to evaluate the effects of durability issues in concrete is
a relatively new area of research which shows great promise in detecting a wide variety of …

The above method proposes a new technique for the evaluation of performance of concrete
in a freeze/thaw environment [1]. Any acceptable testing method should satisfy the following …

The pore structure of the hardened concrete and the microscopic changes of a few selected
pores throughout the freeze-thaw test were investigated by a method combining RapidAir …

European requests for more exposure differentiation based performance evaluation calls for
a review of the adopted testing conditions. Sustainable concrete development requires a …
