Effect of Freezing Temperature and Duration of Exposure on Compressive Strength of Concrete with Additive-Based Freeze Protection

Funding Agency: Army Corps of Engineering/ERDC-CRREL

Abstract: This research determines the effect of intermittent intense cold (-10, -20, and -40 °C) on concrete with additive-based frost protection (ABFP) intended to be mixed and cured at -5 °C. Both the timing and duration of the cold are studied.
