Concrete durability in climates where freezing and thawing occurs is a continuing problem. It is particularly acute for highway and bridge structures, where de-icing salts are used to combat the effects of frost, snow and ice. These salts can cause damage to concrete and accelerate corrosion of reinforcements. This book presents the latest international research on this area, with contributions from North America and Europe which were presented at an international RILEM workshop.
Preface. On the abnormal freezing of pore water and testing on
freeze-thaw and de-icing salt resistance. De-icing salt scaling resistance of
high-performance concrete: an overview. On the service life of concrete
exposed to frost action. Three different methods for testing the freeze-thaw
resistance of concrete with and without de-icing salt - European round robin
test. Freeze-thaw resistance and de-icing salt resistance of concrete made
with cements of different C3A contents. Efficiency of sealers on the scaling
resistance of concrete in presence of de-icing salts. Mass loss experience
with ASTM C666: with and without de-icing salt. High-strength concrete
without air entertainment: effect of rapid temperature cycling above and
below 0C. The de-icer salt scaling deterioration of concrete: the Quebec
Ministry of Transportation's point of view. Internal comparative tests on
frost de-icing salt resistance. De-icing salt scaling resistance of concrete
incorporating supplementary cementing materials: CANMET research. Frost/salt
scaling and ice formation of concrete: effect of curing temperature and
silica fume on normal and high-strength concrete. Scaling resistance tests of
concrete - experience from practical use in Sweden. Round robin tests on
concrete frost resistance. Reliability of the ASTM C 672 test method:
comparison between the laboratory de-icer scaling resistance of concrete and
its behaviour under field exposure conditions. Author index. Subject index.
