Abstract

The mechanical properties of concrete pavement were studied under the various frost-salt conditions using Capillary Suction of De-icing Chemicals and Freeze-thaw Test Method (CDF method). The test results show that: with the increasing of freeze-thaw cycles, concrete surface damage has a tendency to accelerate. The concrete which is in a 5% concentration chloride snow-thawing agent solution has the greatest impact damage after 150 frost-salt cycles compared with soaking in other different densities (3%, 20%). Mixing appropriate amount of silica fume and high-performance air-entraining agent in concrete can effectively improve the resistance of frost-salt scaling. With the frost-salt cycles increase, the concrete strength and the relative dynamic elastic modulus continues to decrease.

Keywords: Concrete, frost-salt, chloride snow-thawing agent, mechanical properties.
