Deicer Scaling Resistance of Concrete Pavements, Bridge Decks and Other Structures Containing Slag Cement
The objectives of this project are to: (1) Document the field performance of existing concrete pavements, bridge decks, and other structures made with slag cement that have been exposed to cyclical freeze-thaw cycles in the presence of deicing chemicals. (2) Determine from the field study and construction/design records which mixtures and construction parameters have produced scale-resistant concrete containing slag. (3) Determine the effectiveness of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C672 in predicting the deicer scaling behavior of field concrete. If discrepancies are noted, an attempt will be made to explain why the lab tests do not adequately mimic field performance and alternative procedures will be recommended to improve the correlation between lab tests and field performance.
