Original Abstract

This paper deals with the influence of periodic freezing on lightweight concrete characteristics. Sets of lightweight concrete prismatic specimens are cyclically frozen in range from +20C to -20C and non-destructively tested after every 25 cycles. Freeze-thaw resistance is determined from measurement of the frost-attacked and non-frost-attacked (referential) specimens. The referential specimens are air/water-cured. Non-destructive methods, especially ultrasonic impulse method and resonance method are used for determination of specimen's degradation. Experiments are finished with destructive test in order to determine the static modulus of elasticity.

Keywords
