SP47

Date:

Editors: Charles F. Scholer and Emery Farkas

Publication:

Volume:

Abstract:

SP47 Presents a collection of 17 papers on freeze-thaw problems, performance of concrete in seawater, and sulfate attack, to help advance understanding of the response of concrete to attack by aggressive elements. Knowledge of the mechanism, the development of a course of action, and a report of the field experience are all necessary contributions to improving our knowledge of concrete durability. SuccessfuI performance of concrete is dependent to a greater extent on its durability against the environment than on strength properties.

Abstract:

This paper presents a durability study for concretes and grout with varying air contents which were subjected to both vacuum saturation and freezing and thawing. This adverse condition might simulate years of natural weathering and this provided the designers with useful information. The investigation proved that air-entrained concrete had better durability than non-air entrained concrete regardless of the degress of saturation. In conlusion, sufficient internal void system (air content) is essential for good durability.

Abstract:

A study is reported of the strain-temperature behaviour (at various ages) of hardened portlant cement mortar when subjected to a slow cycle of cooling and warming over the range of 70 to 0 F.

SP47-02

Date: 

January 1, 1975

Author(s):

G. Fagerlund

Publication:

Symposium Papers

Volume:

47

Abstract:

The paper treats the problem "Frost Resistance" as a general problem for all porous materials. The basis is the undeniable fact that well defined critical degrees of maturation exist for all porous materials.
