... days outdoors covered under wet burlap and plastic sheet, and 28 days in the laboratory air after application of a curing compound. The slabs were tested at an age of 28 days for 50 freeze-thaw cycles in the scaling test using a 3% sodium-chloride (NaCl) solution. The slabs cured outside under wet...

... into the understanding of the surface scaling. It was found that solar effects have a pronounced effect on the scaling of the concrete surface. Basis for a new scaling test which simulates the deterioration of concrete in the field under severe freeze-thaw conditions has been developed. It consists of partial thawing...

... caused by freeze-thaw exposure and abrasion loss determined with the U.S. Corps of Engineers Method of Test for Resistance of Concrete or Mortar Surfaces to Abrasion (Procedure CRD-C52-54) were consistently higher on rained-on than on comparable not-rained-on cores and specimens. Abrasion loss was higher...
