1. Moisture Conditions and Frost Resistance of Concrete in Hydraulic Structures
Abstract : Owing to the winter conditions in Sweden, the effects of frost action may have a considerable impact on the deterioration of concrete. Both superficial and internal damage, which are suspected to have been caused by frost action, have been found in concrete in hydraulic structures. READ MORE

2. Internal frost damage in concrete - experimental studies of destruction mechanisms
Abstract : The aim of the study was to identify mechanisms acting at internal frost destruction of concrete. By 'internal frost destruction' is meant damage caused inside concrete that is moisture insulated from the surroundings, i.e. when no moisture exchange with the surroundings is possible during freeze-thaw.

3. Structural Behaviour of Deteriorated Concrete Structures
Abstract : A growing concern for better assessment of existing concrete structures has revealed a need for improved understanding of the structural effects of deterioration. The two most common causes of deterioration in concrete structures are freezing of the concrete and corrosion of the reinforcement. READ MORE

4. Frost-induced deterioration of concrete in hydraulic structures : Interactions between water absorption, leaching and frost action
Abstract : Frost deterioration of concrete can result in severe consequences to the safety, durability and functionality of a structure since it impairs the strength of the concrete. Frost damage may occur to structures that are in contact with water and subjected to frost action. READ MORE

5. Chloride Transport in Concrete under the Frost Action – An Experimental Study
Abstract : Frost-induced ingress of chloride in concrete is one of the typical transport phenomena of aggressive substances when structures expose to severe environments such as marine tidal zone and de-icing highway in winter seasons. It is well known that Chloride ingress in concrete causes the reinforcement corrosion. READ MORE
