Resistance of concrete to freezing and thawing Janssen, Donald J ; Snyder, Mark B

By: Contributor(s): Publication details: Washington DC Strategic Highway Research Program, 1994; SHRP-C-391, Description: 201 sSubject(s): Online resources: Bibl.nr: VTI P1408:391Location: Abstract: This study evaluated the parameters that affect the freeze-thaw durability of concrete; proposes a modification of the existing standard method for determining the durability of concrete specimens; and describes a new procedure for fundamental transverse frequency. It presents a new test for aggregate durability based on hydraulic fracture of aggregate. The field experiment design to test specific concrete mixes for freeze-thaw resistance is described, along with preliminary results.
