Abstract

A new definition of critical dilation is proposed for use in ASTM Test Method for Critical Dilation of Concrete Specimens Subjected to Freezing (C 671). Using this new definition, only a single cycle of freezing is needed to determine whether or not a specimen is frost resistant.

Keywords:
dilation testing, critical dilation, frost resistance, freezing and thawing
