    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes a method of assessing the frost resistance of an aggregate when it is subjected to the cyclic action of freezing and thawing in the presence of 1% solution of NaCl in de-ionized or distilled water.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard specifies a method of assessing the frost resistance of an aggregate when it is subjected to the cyclic action of freezing and thawing in the presence of 1 % solution of NaCl in de-ionized or distilled water. The results of this test provide a means for assessing an aggregate’s resistance to this form of weathering in areas where frequent freeze-thaw cycling occurs with seawater sprays or abundant de-icers conditions, and where result values of EN 1367-1 test method do not describe correctly aggregate performance in extreme conditions. This European Standard gives the option to control the thawing sequence either by immersion in water or by using air circulation in the low temperature cabinet to obtain the required reference temperature. This test method is applicable to coarse aggregates or to coarse aggregates\' fractions of all-in materials. This method is not appropriate for lightweight aggregates covered by EN 13055 or aggregates which can not be submitted to 110 °C oven drying.
