Experimental Determination of the Influence of an Air Entraining Additive on the Resistance of Concrete to Chemical Defrosting Agents

Abstract:

The paper describes the results of an experiment performed as part of the GAČR 13-18870S project dealing with the durability characteristics of the surface layer of hardened concrete. The paper aims to evaluate the experimental determination of the influence of an air entraining additive on the resistance of cement concrete to water and defrosting chemicals. For the purposes of the experiment 4 mixtures were prepared which differed in the amount of air entraining additive and the amount of cement. The test results were evaluated using statistical analysis of experiment.
