SIGNIFICANCE OF INTERRUPTED TESTING ON THE FREEZE-THAW RESISTANCE OF FLY ASH CONCRETE BY ASTM C 666 (METHOD A)

This is a study of the effect of interrupted testing combined with prolonged freezing on the freeze-thaw resistance of concretes containing fly ash as part of the cementitious fraction, using ASTM Test Method for Resistance of Concrete to Rapid Freezing and Thawing (C 666-84, Method A). Also studied was the effect of marginal air contents on the above test parameters. Test results indicate that for fly ash concretes with air contents in excess of 5%, interrupted and/or prolonged periods of freezing do not affect the freeze-thaw resistance of the concrete. Early age freezing (14 days) of fly ash concretes did not appear to be detrimental to the performance of the fly ash concretes tested.
