FIELD AND LABORATORY AIR-CONTENT STUDIES OF SALT-DAMAGED CONCRETE STRUCTURES
AN INVESTIGATION WAS UNDERTAKEN IN ILLINOIS TO DETERMINE THE UNIFORMITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF AIR ENTRAINMENT AND THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO AIR-ENTRAINED CONCRETE BRIDGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE ACTION OF SALT. AN INVESTIGATION OF ALL STRUCTURES CONSTRUCTED IN ILLINOIS WITH AIR-ENTRAINED CONCRETE WAS STARTED IN 1960. OF THE 879 BRIDGES SURVEYED, 503 WERE STUDIED IN SOME DETAIL AND 67 WERE GIVEN A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION, INCLUDING DRILLING OF CORES FOR AIR-CONTENT STUDIES. THE ADEQUACY OF THE ENTRAINED AIR AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES AND TREATMENT ARE DISCUSSED. PUBLICATIONS' A SURVEY OF AIR-ENTRAINED STRUCTURES IN ILLINOIS, HRB BULLETIN 323, 1962.
