Influence of Coarse Aggregate Grain Size on Frost Resistance of Concrete

Abstract:

This paper deals with the influence of the coarse aggregate grain size on the frost resistance of concrete. For the purpose of the experiment, three types of concrete were produced, varying only in the maximum grain size of the used natural aggregate. The evaluation of the frost resistance of concrete is based on non-destructive (NDT) dynamic and static testing methods. The results of the experiment indicate influences of the aggregate used in the production of the concrete on the results of its frost resistance.
