Strength and Freeze-Thaw Testing of Lightweight Aggregate Concretes
This investigation indicates the effects of freeze-thaw cycles on the strength development and durability of lightweight aggregate concretes. Two lightweight aggregate concrete, one normal concrete and one reactive powder concrete were used in this study, and total four types of concrete mix were named NC, LWC1, LWC2, and RPC. Before and after freeze-thaw test, the samples were evaluated by the compressive strength, fflexural strength, and impact abrasion tests. The test results show that steady decrease in compressive and flexural strength after freeze-thaw testing for most concrete specimens. The lightweight aggregate used in the LWC1 mix for this laboratory study had a good freeze-thaw performance history, but the LWC2 mix with lightweight aggregate approaching the 24-hour water absorption had a bad result. It might be due to the void volume required to release hydraulic pressure developed during cyclic freezing.
