Evaluation of freeze/thaw and scaling response of nanoconcrete for Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavements
Abstract
The durability of PCC refers to the ability of concrete to resist weathering action, chemical attack and abrasion. Freeze/thaw and scaling are extreme conditions that occur in cold climates and with the use of deicers that can affect the durability of concrete. Nanomaterials, which have a particle size under 100nm and a large specific surface area, are able to improve the durability of concrete. In this research nanosilica was added to concrete …
