Abstract

The test method was developed to evaluate portland cement systems with different air contents, and for the purpose of determining whether the apparent poor performance of concretes containing supplementary cementing materials in the ASTM C 672 deicer scaling test can be attributed to differences in finishing effort or timing of finishing, or both.
