Freeze-thaw resistance of concrete with porous aggregate

Compressive Strength Study on the Freeze-thaw Resistance of Recycled Aggregate Concrete Members

Results: The experiment results indicate that the type of recycled aggregate and its replacement ratio have significant effects on the freezethaw performance. The cubic compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete is overall slightly lower than that of normal concrete. After 100 freeze-thaw cycles, the compressive strength decreases and the reduction extent increases with increasing repl...

Freeze-Thaw Durability of Air-Entrained Concrete

One of the most damaging actions affecting concrete is the abrupt temperature change (freeze-thaw cycles). The types of deterioration of concrete structures by cyclic freeze-thaw can be largely classified into surface scaling (characterized by the weight loss) and internal crack growth (characterized by the loss of dynamic modulus of elasticity). The present study explored the durability of con...

Freeze-Thaw Resistance of Concretes with BFSA

Abstract—Air-cooled Blast Furnace Slag Aggregate (BFSA) is usually referred to as a material providing for unique properties of concrete. On the other hand, negative influences are also presented in many aspects. The freeze-thaw resistance of concrete is dependent on many factors, including regional specifics and when a concrete mix is specified it is still difficult to tell its exact freeze-th...

Performance of Glass Concrete Subjected to Freeze-Thaw Cycling

This article reports the potential use of waste glass powder (GP) to improve the performance of concrete subjected to freeze-thaw (FT) cycling. Three GP contents were utilized in the study: 6%, 12%, and 18% by weight of cement. The other experimental parameters that were investigated in the study include: water to cement ratio (0.4 and 0.6) and aggregate type (limestone and tuff). Concrete pris...
