An investigation of the freeze/thaw behaviour of concrete made with microsilica as a partial cement replacement (TM-CES-093)

Concrete specimens prepared with varying amounts of microsilica were subjected to a series of freeze/thaw cycles, together with a number of plain and air-entrained concretes for comparison purposes. All the specimens except the air-entrained ones sustained considerable damage after only 32 freeze/thaw cycles. Some differences between specimens were measurable,...
