Evaluation of Deterioration in coating materials exposed to cold snowy region

Abstract

In order to make clear the effect of freeze and thaw action in cold snowy region on deterioration in coating materials for building, we carried out the outdoor exposure test of concrete specimens applied the coating materials to the surface. According to the results, it observed scaling and micro cracks on the surface of concrete with no coating materials. We made sure the preventive effects in the coating materials on frost damage of concrete. We also evaluated the deterioration in the coating materials using proposed method in previous study.
