Abstract
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) T 365 standard, Standard Method of Test for Quantifying Calcium Oxychloride Formation Potential of Cementitious Pastes Exposed to Deicing Salts, describes a test methodology that uses low-temperature differential scanning calorimetry (LTDSC) to quantify the formation of calcium oxychloride in cementitious systems exposed to concentrated calcium chloride solutions. AASHTO T 365 is included in AASHTO PP 84, Standard Practice for Developing Performance Engineered Concrete Pavement Mixtures, as a performance indicator for mixtures at risk of calcium oxychloride formation. During the test, the sample temperature is first dropped to −90°C, looped through a brief thermal cycle, then slowly increased to a maximum of 50°C, at a constant heating rate of 0.25°C/minute (min), for a total testing time of approximately 11 hours. The objective of this work is to modify the test to reduce its duration to facilitate wide adoption among practitioners. It is found that by increasing the minimum conditioning temperature from −90°C to −5°C, as well as by increasing the heating rate from 0.25°C/min up to 1°C/min, the test duration can be reduced from approximately 10.7 hours to approximately 1.6 hours without any statistically significant difference in the numerical test results, although an offset of the melting peak and a change in its shape were observed. This change can provide valuable savings in terms of time and energy/gas consumption and make AASHTO T 365 more competitive with other available tests for the estimation of calcium oxychloride formation, such as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). TGA and LTDSC are compared to each other in terms of mixture classification for susceptibility to calcium oxychloride formation. It is shown that the two tests show good agreement, with 85 % of cases (out of 30 tested) receiving the same classification.
