ABSTRACT

In cold regions, frost action is one of the main factors which influence durability of concrete (Mehta & Richard 2001, Mehta 2006), and many researches have been conducted on frost resistance of concrete in recent years (Moukwa 1990, Senbu & Kamada 1990, Yixia et al. 1994, Hao 1998, Alexander & Magee 1999, Wei et al. 1999, Ru et al. 2002, Guangpu 2006, Benjamin & Jussara 2007,Alan et al. 2011). However, there are still some limitations of most existing researches.
