Extending the Season for Concrete Construction and Repair

The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, CRREL, proposes to develop, demonstrate, and document a cost-effective technology to permit the reliable and durable emplacement of unheated concrete in subfreezing temperatures. The objective is to provide clearly defined procedures that allow a transportation agency to specify antifreeze-protected concrete with confidence and minimum cost penalty. The procedures will include formulations that use admixtures obtainable from usual commercial sources.
