Abstract:

In this paper, the authors study the anti-freeze-thaw performance of a new type of semi-rigid base material named polypropylene fiber reinforced cement-stabilized aggregate, and freeze-thaw mass loss rate, freeze-thaw compressive strength, freeze-thaw splitting strength are used to evaluate the effect of polypropylene fiber on the anti-freeze-thaw performance, and the relationship of polypropylene fiber content, polypropylene fiber length with the anti-freeze-thaw performance are analyzed. The test after 10 freeze-thaw cycle shows that the mix of polypropylene fiber increase the freeze-thaw compressive strength and freeze-thaw splitting strength, and decrease the mass loss rate greatly. At the same time, the paper also determine the reasonable fiber content and fiber length, under this mix proportion, the mass loss rate reduce by 80%, the freeze-thaw compressive strength increase more than 12.1% and freeze-thaw splitting strength increase more than 13.4%. This research has laid an important foundation for the follow-up research and practice.

Abstract:

The basic mechanical problem facing of environmental geotechnical engineering in cold regions is the physical and mechanical properties of rocks under freeze-thaw conditions. The freeze-thaw cycling experiment was conducted first for two types of rock which are red sandstone and shale, then the splitting tensile experiment on different freeze-thaw cycles. The damage deterioration and breaking behavior under freeze-thaw conditions was investigated, and the influence of lithology and freeze-thaw cycle on anti-tensile characteristics of rock was studied. It is shown that three freeze-thaw damage deterioration modes of two kinds of rock are spalling mode, fracture mode and crack mode. The freeze-thaw cycle leads to irreversible deterioration on physical and mechanical properties for rock, but the damage of red sandstone is more serious than that of shale by the number of freeze-thaw cycles. The regularity of freeze-thaw effects of compression and tensile characteristics for two rocks are identical, but the tensile characteristic is more sensitive to freeze-thaw cycle.

Abstract:

The freeze-thaw cycle is one of the important processes that affected heavy metal behaviors in soil. However, information regarding the adsorption and desorption behavior of heavy metals in soils under different freeze-thaw conditions is relatively less. Therefore, different freeze-thaw conditions including unfrozen, 15 freeze-thaw cycles at 60% water content, and 15 freeze-thaw cycles at 100% water content were investigated. Then the adsorption and desorption behaviors of Pb and Cr in freeze-thaw soils were studied. Results showed the Pb and Cr adsorption amount mostly decreased with increasing water-soil ratio, and the soil performance of Pb and Cr adsorption at same water-soil ratios showed variation under different freeze-thaw conditions. The Pb isothermal adsorption was higher for most freeze-thaw treatments compared to the control. The soil performance of Cr isothermal adsorption showed variation under different freeze-thaw conditions. Most electrostatic binding of Pb and Cr were stronger under unfrozen and freeze-thaw conditions than unfrozen conditions. Most Pb and Cr adsorption kinetics patterns of freeze-thaw treated soils were rapid than unfrozen conditions. These results implied that freeze-thaw cycles could change the soil adsorption and desorption patterns of Pb and Cr. Therefore, further studies are urgently needed to investigate Pb and Cr immobilization mechanisms in soils during freeze-thaw cycles. Hence, these findings provided useful information on Pb and Cr immobilization process in soils that underwent freeze-thaw cycles to offer an additional insight into predicting Pb and Cr behaviors in cold and freezing environments.

Abstract:

As an important type of soil erosion, freeze-thaw erosion occurs primarily at high latitude and altitude. The overview on the effect of freeze-thaw on soil erosion was provided. Soil erosion was affected by freeze-thaw processes, as thawing and water erosion reinforce each other. Remote sensing provided an unprecedented approach for characterizing the timing, magnitude, and patterns of large-scale freeze-thaw and soil erosion changes. Furthermore, the essence of soil freeze-thaw was the freeze and thaw of soil moisture in the pores of soil. Freeze-thaw action mainly increased soil erodibility and made it more vulnerable to erosion by destroying soil structure, changing soil water content, bulk density, shear strength and aggregate stability, etc. However, the type and magnitude of changes of soil properties have been related to soil texture, water content, experimental conditions and the degree of exposure to freeze-thaw. The use of indoor and field experiments to further reveal the effect of freeze-thaw on soil erosion would facilitate improved forecasting, as well as prevention of soil erosion during thawing in regions with freeze-thaw cycles.

Abstract:

Basalt fiber has a great advantage on the mechanical properties and durability of reactive powder concrete (RPC) because of its superior mechanical properties and chemical corrosion resistance. In this paper, basalt fiber was adopted to modified RPC, and plain reactive powder concrete (PRPC), basalt fiber reactive powder concrete (BFRPC) and steel fiber reactive powder concrete (SFRPC) were prepared. The mechanical properties and freeze–thaw durability of BFRPC with different basalt fiber contents were tested and compared with PRPC and SFRPC to investigate the effects of basalt fiber contents and fiber type on the mechanical properties and freeze–thaw durability of RPC. Besides, the mass loss rate and compressive strength loss rate of RPC under two freeze–thaw conditions (fresh-water freeze–thaw and chloride-salt freeze–thaw) were tested to evaluate the effects of freeze–thaw conditions on the freeze–thaw durability of RPC. The experiment results showed that the mechanical properties and freeze–thaw resistance of RPC increased as the basalt fiber content increase. Compared with the fresh-water freeze–thaw cycle, the damage of the chloride-salt freeze–thaw cycle on RPC was great. Based on the freeze–thaw experiment results, it was found that SFRPC was sensitive to the corrosion of chloride salts and compared with the steel fiber, the improvement of basalt fiber on the freeze–thaw resistance of RPC was great.

Abstract:

Freeze-thaw cycle is a type of fatigue loading, and rock stress relaxation under freeze-thaw cycles takes into account the influence of the freeze-thaw cycle damage and deterioration. Rock stress relaxation under freeze-thaw cycles is one of the paramount issues in tunnel and slope stability research. To accurately describe the mechanical behaviour of stress relaxation of rocks under freeze-thaw, the software element is constructed based on the theory of fractional calculus to replace the ideal viscous element in the traditional element model. The freeze-thaw damage degradation of viscosity coefficient is considered. A new three-element model is established to better reflect the nonlinear stress relaxation behavior of rocks under freeze-thaw. The freeze-thaw and stress relaxation of rock are simulated by ABAQUS, the relevant model parameters are determined, and the stress relaxation equation of rock under freeze-thaw cycle is obtained based on numerical simulation results. The research shows that the test results are consistent with the calculated results, indicating that the constitutive equation can better describe the stress relaxation characteristics of rocks under freeze-thaw and provide theoretical basis for surrounding rock support in cold region.

Abstract:

Freeze–thaw action is a complicated process. How it affects particle characteristics of saturated silt may provide a much clearer understanding of its internal mechanism. A series of specific apparatus were developed for sample reconstitution, including sand pluviation device, freeze–thaw device, and special sampling device. After reconstituting samples by sand pluviation method and a specific parameter-controlled freeze–thaw testing, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and laser scattering and transmissometry (LST) tests were conducted to explore the particle characteristics of silt under freeze–thaw cycles. The test results show that freeze–thaw action could probably induce the particles’ (60–200 μm) breakage, also affecting the clay particles’ (less than 5 μm) aggregation. With the increase of freeze–thaw times, freeze–thaw action on the particle impact decreases. The larger the effective confining pressure, the lower the freezing temperature, greater the compaction degree, and higher the fine content, which can all aggravate the effects of freeze–thaw action on silt particles. Finally, two characteristic evolution modes of particle structure under freeze–thaw cycles have been inferred based on particle interaction during the freeze–thaw process, which could provide a reference for long-term durability evaluation of pavements in cold regions.

Abstract:

Although the use of pervious concrete is expanding, only a limited number of scholarly papers have been published on the resistance of pervious concrete to deterioration under frost action. Based on this need for additional research on the durability of pervious concrete in cold regions, the objective of this research was to evaluate the resistance of pervious concrete to degradation during freeze-thaw cycling under different soil clogging and water saturation conditions. The laboratory research associated with this project involved three primary measures of pervious concrete performance, including freeze-thaw durability, compressive strength, and permeability. Testing associated with freeze-thaw durability involved two levels of soil clogging, two water saturation conditions, and two curing durations in a full-factorial experimental design. Field testing involved measurements of stiffness, permeability, and compressive strength at a single site in Orem, Utah. The factor of water saturation and the interaction between the factors of curing condition and clogging condition played significant roles in testing throughout the entire course of freeze-thaw testing. Regarding the factor of water saturation, specimens that were completely submerged in water during freeze-thaw testing were damaged at a notably faster rate than those specimens that were tested in a moist but unsaturated condition for both curing conditions. Regarding the interaction between the factors of curing condition and clogging condition, the effect of clogging on the number of freeze-thaw cycles to failure depended upon the curing condition. A comparison of in situ modulus values, core modulus values, and core compressive strengths associated with clogged locations and unclogged locations in the field indicated no significant differences in structural properties in the clogged and unclogged locations. Although the results of this research suggest that pervious concrete similar to that evaluated in this study can be successfully used in cold regions under essentially ideal conditions, further laboratory and field research should be performed to more carefully examine the effect of moisture content on the freeze-thaw durability of moist but unsaturated specimens. Also, given that clogging can reduce the freeze-thaw durability of pervious concrete, the efficacy of maintenance procedures available for cleaning partially clogged pervious concrete slabs should be investigated. Long-term monitoring of and supplementary experimentation on the pervious concrete slab tested in this research should be considered for these purposes. More conclusive data about the performance of pervious concrete in cold regions will be derived from such field tests.

Abstract:

Relic periglacial solifluction features cover most of Britain, particularly the Midlands and the South, causing serious and continuing earthwork and construction problems. Although the engineering significance of the presence of periglacial solifluction deposits is widely appreciated, the mechanics of emplacement of these deposits has received surprisingly little attention. The principal objective of the research has been to investigate the freeze-thaw behaviour of some clay soils in Britain which have been exposed to periglacial conditions. The behaviour was examined using a Permafrost Oedometer or Permode, based on the apparatus used by Morgenstern and Smith, (1973). Tests have been carried out on Lias Clay, Weald Clay and Oxford Clay. In each test, a specimen was placed under an applied stress and subjected to 24 hour cycles of freezing and thawing. Freezing was mainly imposed from the top of the specimen downwards. The tests were carried out undrained. The pore water pressures were found to increase as a result of cyclic freeze-thaw conditions. Greater pore water pressures were generally recorded at the top than at the base of the specimen. This was considered to be due to moisture migration towards the freezing front during freezing, and impeded filtration, (due to underlying frozen material), during thaw. The significance of the additional pore water pressures in terms of slope stability was considered. A semi-infinite slope analysis model was used primarily, but reference was made to other, similar research. The analysis found that the predicted slope angle of failure is reduced significantly by relatively low increases in pore water pressure. Greater increases in pore water pressure are gained for soils of lower residual shear strength/higher plasticity. It was determined that the generation of excess pore water pressure and corresponding decrease in residual strength have considerable implications for the stability of slopes previously exposed to periglacial conditions.

Air voids are purposefully entrained in concrete to provide freeze-thaw durability of prestressed concrete railroad ties. Durability assurance requires consistent provision of an air void system comprised of small, well-distributed bubbles in sufficient quantity for durability and a quality control method for testing tie freeze-thaw durability. Manufacturing processes at three concrete manufacturing plants were investigated in order to determine the effects of process variability on resulting concrete air void system variability. Variation in the concrete air void system and other rheological properties occurred as results of the manufacturing process and vibration. Freezing and thawing durability testing of prestressed concrete ties is currently performed by applying ASTM C666 on 3 x 4 x 11 to 16 in. specimens cut from the shoulders of concrete ties. However, excising these specimens from prestressed concrete could lead to stress changes in the sample and cracking, potentially causing false interpretations of results. Therefore, testing was undertaken to understand the effects of prestressing and sample extraction on freeze-thaw durability measured by ASTM C666. In order to assess the effects of sampling and testing procedures on freeze-thaw quality control testing results of prestressed concrete railroad ties, full ties, half ties, and 3 x 4 x 11 in. excised samples were tested. Freeze-thaw testing included determination of the optimal method to measure freeze-thaw deterioration in large sections, the effects of saw-cutting, and the presence of reinforcement. Results indicated that the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity accurately represented deterioration in large sections. The presence of reinforcement in excised samples led to faster deterioration compared to cast ASTM C666 samples, while saw-cutting without reinforcement did not significantly affect freeze-thaw durability.

Abstract:

In this thesis freeze-thaw along roads in northern Sweden is examined. The examinations are put in a context of changing climate and its amplification towards the Arctic region on earth. The research focuses on the impact of a warmer climate on ground freeze-thaw and in exten- sion road maintenance in the region. The investigation is presented through two scientific papers, where the first examines how ground temperatures are developed during a single frost season experiment, where a natural accumulation of snow cover and a continual removal of snow cover occur respectively. In the second paper, ground temperature data from sub-Arctic Sweden that has been logged by the Swedish Transport Administration, has been collected and freeze-thaw cycles have been calculated and analysed. The results are related to regional landscape factors and are in the context of regional climate change discussed to reach understanding of challenges for road maintenance in the region and opportunities to reach resilience. The results in Paper 1 show that also a thin cover of snow has impact on the freeze-thaw frequency, duration and intensity that occur in and on the surface of the ground. Furthermore the results show that the ground temperatures rise in due to an increase in snow cover amounts and that this process occurs in several steps. Paper 2 shows that the occurrence of ground freeze-thaw is affected by the proximity to open waters. Warmer temperatures in the air may cause later ice freeze-up and earlier ice break-up on lakes, rivers and on the Gulf of Bothnia and roads in northern Sweden are in general situated on the coast or near rivers. Ground temperatures around 0 °C has a high negative impact on road stability and a warmer and wetter climate in northern Sweden may thus increase road deterioration. The economic development in Sweden stays dependent on extraction of natural resources in sub-Arctic Sweden and thus it is of major concern to main- tain and improve road infrastructure in the region.

Pre-stressed concrete is used for manufacturing railroad ties. Air entrainment is used in concrete railroad ties to provide durability in freeze-thaw conditions commonly present in track. Vibration practices in pre-stressed concrete railroad tie plants could contribute to excessive air loss during manufacture and thus poor freeze-thaw resistance. Rheological properties of fresh concrete significantly influence the determination of how much air is lost during vibration. This research attempted to increase understanding of the effect of vibration on air bubble distribution and freeze-thaw resistance of concrete given certain compositions and rheological properties of concrete. The objective was achieved by examining the effect of different admixtures combinations, vibration parameters, and rheological properties on the air void system and freeze-thaw resistance of concrete. This research also proposed a method to measure rheological properties of concrete when vibrated and for concrete mixtures too stiff to measure using conventional rheology measurements. Results showed that delaying the initiation of vibration can cause significant air loss but does not necessarily decrease freeze-thaw performance of concrete. Results also showed that a majority of air loss occurs in the first 30 seconds of vibration. The types of admixtures used in the concrete mixture can significantly affect the air system and freeze-thaw durability of concrete; this effect was shown to be more pronounced in mixtures with low yield stress and plastic viscosity. While the peak vibration acceleration had a mild effect, the frequency and peak velocity of vibration did not seem to have a noticeable effect on the air system and freeze-thaw performance of concrete. Results also showed that rheological properties of stiff mixtures can be estimated by running the rheology test during vibration.

Abstract:

Specimens from 27 batches of concrete with water to cementitious (cement plus silica fume) ratio of 0.25 to 0.32, with and without entrained air, were tested for freeze-thaw durability in accordance with ASTM C666, procedure A (freezing and thawing in water). In addition, another set of similar specimens were moist cured for 28 days instead of 14 days and tested in accordance with ASTM C666 , Procedure A to determine the effect of curing time on the freeze-thaw durability of high strength concrete. Results show that non air-entrained high strength concrete with water cementitious ratio of less than 0.30, regardless of the length of curing time, is frost resistant. Non-air-entrained concrete with water-cement ratio of 0.32 is also durable if silica fume is not used.

Abstract:

The thesis describes a study undertaken to determine the effect of air entrainment on workability and air content of fresh concrete incorporating silica fume (SF), metakaolin (MK), fly ash (FA) and blends of FA and MK and to assess the effects of such pozzolans on freeze-thaw durability, air void system and microstructure of hardened concrete. Cement was partially replaced by various quantities of the pozzolanic materials. The results demonstrated that the increase in workability attributed to the air-entraining admixture was greater in MK concrete than in SF concrete and occurred for a greater range of dosages of the admixture. Improvements in workability due to the air-entraining admixture were also obtained in concretes with low levels (20%) of FA. Concretes with 30 and 40% FA although more workable, accrued no such benefit. In addition, the workability of FA-MK concrete was substantially reduced with increasing MK level at all total replacement levels, i.e. 20, 30 and 40%. Furthermore the air content tests indicated that up to 0.24% air entraining admixture resulted in steady increase in the air content of MK concrete, compared to a limit of 0.12% for SF concrete. Alternatively, FA caused large reductions in the air content of fresh concrete, irrespective of the dosage of the airentraining agent. The freeze-thaw durability was determined on both air-entrained and non air-entrained concretes. Based on a criterion that unsatisfactory resistance to freezing and thawing corresponds to a durability factor (DF) less than 60% or a change in length greater than 200 um/m, all the air-entrained concretes exhibited excellent performance under freeze-thaw conditions irrespective of the MK or FA content. On the other hand the non air-entrained concretes performed poorly under freezing and thawing. Thus, it would appear that air entrainment is the controlling factor for good freeze-thaw performance and the material effects are less important. However there were indications to suggest that non air-entrained concretes containing MK at low replacement levels (2.5 and 7.5%) could be frost resistant (DF > 80%). This was attributed to the increased spacing factor effected by the presence of fine particles of MK. Air entrainment was also a key factor for good scaling resistance. For instance, non air-entrained concretes with high replacement levels of MK (7.5 and 10% MK) exhibited more scaling than concretes with low replacement levels (2.5% MK), whereas scaling of air-entrained MK concretes was independent of the replacement level. The concrete containing high amounts of FA (30%) exhibited more scaling than the control and 10% FA concrete. However, blending FA with MK (MK/FA = 1/3) at total replacement levels of 10 and 30% improves the scaling resistance of the resulting concrete as compared to the FA only concrete. Non air-entrained concretes containing FA or blends of FA with MK showed an increase in weight at the beginning of freezing and thawing, an indication of uptake of water. Water absorption results confirmed that this was a result of a more open porosity. There is a strong correlation between sorptivity and pore refinement. Increasing amounts of the MK appear to cause refinemenent of the concrete's pore structure. As a result of this pore refinement sorptivity decreases with increasing amounts of MK. In addition blending FA with MK causes pore refinement. Irrespective of the pozzolanic material or blends of materials used the presence of entrained air appears to have a negative effect on pore refinement.

Abstract:

Permeable concrete pavements are one of the most promising flood mitigation strategies. However, they have a number of limitations including low strength, low resistance to clogging and freeze/thaw degradation, limiting their application particularly in cold climates. Through extensive laboratory work, a novel high-strength clogging resistant permeable pavement (CRP) has been developed to address these shortcomings. In this paper, we investigated the freeze-thaw durability performance of a range of conventional permeable concrete and novel CRP. Samples were exposed to repeated freeze-thaw cycles (-20 to +20C) and their mass, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and compressive strength were evaluated over time. The results show that CRP is highly resistant to freeze-thaw cycles while conventional permeable concrete degrades rapidly. This study demonstrates that CRP is durable under frost action and therefore has the potential to be deployed in harsh wintry conditions.

Abstract:

<p>Freeze‐thaw cycles can lead to serious damage of early‐age concrete and influence its behaviour at later ages. In this study, the later‐age compressive strength, resistance to chloride penetration and resistance to freeze‐thaw of early frost‐damaged concrete were experimentally studied and the relationship between its early‐ (i.e., strength and resistivity) and later‐age (i.e., strength, chloride ion electric flux and freeze‐thaw durability factor) performance indices were analysed. Results show that the later‐age performance of the concrete subjected to freeze‐thaw cycles at early age was generally worse than that of the control samples, which had not undergone early frost damage. This was especially significant for the concrete subjected to freeze‐thaw cycles before the age of 24 h. The compressive strength after early frost action had a higher linear correlation with the later‐age indices of the concrete than the compressive strength before early frost action. Results also showed that the early‐age resistivity is a good indicator for the later‐age performance of early frost‐damaged concrete if the pre‐curing time before frosting is at least 24 h.</p>

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of flax fibre protection with the linseed oil and a matrix modification with cement substitution with metakaolin (in 10wt% and 15wt%) on the mechanical properties of cement-based mortars under severe environmental conditions of freeze/thaw cycles. Cement-based mortars (with the dimension of 40x40x160 mm3) were reinforced by 10mm long discrete flax fibres (Linumusitatissimum) and exposed to 51 freeze/thaw cycles under laboratory condition. Their compressive and flexural strengths, as well as specific energy absorption capacity were measured after freeze/thaw cycles and compared to the results of mortars cured for same time in water. Under freeze/thaw cycles mortars reinforced with linseed oil-treated fibres showed the same range of degradation of the compressive and flexural strengths, however, a more pronounced degradation of energy absorption capacity compared to non-treated fibre reinforced mortars was observed. The matrix modification, by partial cement substitution with metakaolin showed optimistic results under freeze/thaw cycles. The compressive strength when cement was partially substituted with metakaolin (in both dosages) increased whereas the flexural strength was slightly lower in case of 10wt% substitution and markedly lower under higher (15wt%) cement substitution. The most relevant is that the decrease of the energy absorption capacity of the fibre reinforced mortar was completely prevented when cement was substituted with metakaolin. It is shown that the energy absorption of the non-treated fibre reinforced mortars increases by 27% when cement was substituted with metakaolin (both 10wt% and 15wt%).

Abstract:

Inadequate drainage conditions may lead to airfield pavement deterioration. A thorough review of existing pavement drainage guidance and literature was necessary to identify key drainage considerations such as surface drainage infrastructure, pavement drainage layer thickness, use of geotextiles, and performance in freeze–thaw climates. Existing airport drainage guidance is provided by the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Tri-Service Pavements Working Group (TSPWG). Pavement drainage guidance is buried within regulations for pavement de-sign and can, at times, be split awkwardly to accommodate pavement guidance that is split between rigid and flexible designs. Most airfield pavement guidance has been adapted from guidance for highway design. Most guidance is also strength based, with little to no attention paid to material erodibility (a potential cause of pavement deterioration). This review also found very little reference to repairing, rather than completely replacing, damaged subsurface drainage layers. Further research is needed to assess the use of geofabrics and moisture in freeze–thaw conditions on drainage layers and surface structures. With further research, the retrofit and repair of existing subpavement systems might become a more economical solution to drainage-caused pavement deterioration issues than complete reconstruction.
