Performance Deterioration of High Strength Concrete under Mixed Erosion and Freeze-Thaw Cycling

Article Preview

Abstract:

The mechanical properties of high strength concrete(HSC) were experimentally investigated under mixed erosion and freeze-thaw cycling according to ASTM C666(Procedure B), the erosion solution was mixed by weight of 3% sodium chloride and 5% sodium sulfate. The mass loss, relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, compressive strength, elastic modulus and other relative data were measured. The results showed that with the increasing number of freeze-thaw cycles, the surface scaled more seriously; the mass loss, compressive strength and elastic modulus continued to decrease; the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity increased slightly in the first 225 freeze-thaw cycles, then decreased in the following 75 cycles; the corresponding strain to peak stress decreased with the increase of freeze-thaw cycles. After 200 cycles, the rate of deterioration of concrete accelerated obviously.
