Abstract
When deicing agents are spread in concrete under freeze-thaw environment, chloride ions from deicing agents are transported into concrete, which may accelerate frost damage. However, the interaction of chloride ion and frost damage has not been made clear. This study investigates transportation of chloride ion from deicing agents in frost-damaged concrete. The total chloride ions and the soluble chloride ions were measured in the experiment and chemical compositions of various forms of chloride were investigated by using X-ray diffraction techniques.
