Abstract Variable obsen>ations concerning frost resistance of high performance concrete have been made. The question arises which are the decisive factors influencing durability under the action of frost and de-icing salt. The proposed experiments are to be carried out in cooperation with F.A.- Finger - Institute of Bauhaus University Weimar. The aim of this study is to determine possible change of durability of high strength concrete, and to investigate the origin thereof. Measures to reduce the risk of reduced durability have to be found.

High performance concrete (HPC) with a water/cement ratio (w/c) of 0.32 and different lightweight aggregate (LWA) contents (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) were prepared, and the influence of LWA on concrete frost-resistance and impermeability at different ages were studied, as well as the hydration degree, hydrated product, pattern and pore structure of the paste around aggregate. The results show that, by replacing normal weight aggregate (NWA) with 50% and 100% volume contents of pre-wetted LWA respectively, the chemical bound water of the cement paste surrounding aggregate are increased 12.1% and 22.7% as compared to concrete mixed without LWA. And at 28 days, lightweight aggregate concrete has the highest Ca(OH)2 content, whereas the 90-day Ca(OH)2 content of normal weight concrete is the highest. This proves that, with the increase of LWA content in concrete, both of the internal curing effect of pre-wetted LWA and secondary hydration effect of fly ash (FA) are strengthened, this can also be verified by the SEM study. Furthermore, the pore structure of the cement paste around aggregate can be improved consequently. The performance of frost-resistance of HPC can be improved by mixing LWA, the 90 day-frost-resistance of lightweight aggregate concrete is about 2.5 times of that of concrete mixed without LWA. The influence of LWA on the impermeability of HPC is different from normal concrete. When LWA content is more than 50%, the HPC impermeability decreased obviously, however at later age the difference between them becomes minor.

The ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) has very special properties that are expressively different of normal concrete. Due to its high compression strength greater than 150 MPa, tensile strength greater than 20 MPa and improved durability, these represent significant advances in concrete technology. These materials include Portland cement, silica fume, quartz flour, fine silica sand, high-range water-reducer, water and either steel or organic fibres. Depending on the type of fibres used can influence the compressive strength. The article describes the tests of frost resistance on UHPC plates with different types of textiles armatures. The aim of the testing is describe influence of textiles armatures in UHPC matrix in extreme conditions.

Concrete has a high performance corrosion resistance, with the choice of the thickness of the active alkali aggregate,grain shape structured,well-graded,small porosity. Superfine cement with mineral powder instead of 30% to 50%, mineral superfine powder participate hydration, solve concrete interface structure Ca (OH)2enrichment and directional crystallization problems, improve the coagulation. The internal structure of the soil, improving the strength and density of concrete. Meanwhile ultra-fine powder mixed with minerals, reducing the C3A content in the powder and the concrete in the late ettringite hazards greatly. Improve the corrosion resistance of concrete, with also improve the internal structure of concrete and the strength of concrete, compactness and corrosion resistance. Composite type superplasticizer, reducing water consumption unilateral concrete, air-entraining agent is added to improve the density of concrete, the concrete has good impermeability and frost resistance. On the use of ordinary portland cement, it gets high performance, by the ratio test, developed the corrosion and frost resistance of concrete for the chloride, sulfate alone or jointly under the action of the environment concrete structures in corrosive environments, such as coastal areas, inland lakes, underground sewage or chemical zones, there are concrete structure durability requirements, with good economic and promotional value.

The use of repair mortars for concrete structures repair with no or limited resistance to the impact caused by freeze and thaw cycles is often the primary repair failure cause. This is particularly important in Poland. Due to the geographical location of the country, there is a large temperature difference between summer and winter. The number of passes through the threshold temperature of 0 °C throughout the year in the winter season exceeds 100. The article presents a comparison of the frost resistance results of tests of repair mortars. The first method was performed according to the Polish Guidelines (without the use of de-icing salts) and the second method according to PN-EN 1504-3 (with the use of de-icing salts). The results obtained were inconsistent in many areas. In particular, significant differences in the results for the change in compressive strength and the change in bending strength were observed. In the case of the frost resistance testing without the use of de-icing salts, a decrease in compressive strength was usually accompanied by a decrease in bending strength. In the case of frost resistance tests with the use of de-icing salts, an increase in the bending strength of mortars was observed (even by a dozen or so percent) with a decrease in the compressive strength of mortars (even by several dozen percent).

This research focuses on investigating the high performance concrete durability containing slag with different fineness and dosage. For this purpose, the 28-day compressive strength, chloride ion penetration, and frost resistance were investigated, with slag surface area 420m2/kg, 530m2/kg, 610m2/kg, and 720m2/kg, and replacement percentage 0%, 20%, 40%, and 60%, respectively. It was found that chloride ion penetration resistance were affected by the fineness and dosage of slag, and concrete frost resistance property was mainly controlled by dosage of slag rather than the fineness, and the 28-day compressive strength increased with slag incorporation.

A literature survey of the frost resistance of high-performance concrete (HPC) is presented in this paper. Various aspects of HPC behaviour to frost, such as ice formation, resistance to internal microcracking and scaling, and air entrainment were discussed. The survey clearly indicates that the volume of ice formed in the 0 to −20 °C range is significantly reduced by the low porosity of HPC. This reduction is often accompanied by a significant improvement of the scaling resistance. Some studies even reveal the existence of a critical water/binder ratio below which air entrainment would not be required as a protection against this type of deterioration. However, this critical water/binder ratio would not apply to internal cracking. In many instances, HPC with no air entrainment were resistant to scaling but susceptible to internal microcracking. The behaviour of HPC to frost is discussed from both theoretical and applied points of view. Key words: frost resistance, high-performance concrete, ice formation, internal microcracking, scaling.
