Abstract
There are three Finnish concrete field testing stations containing approximately 90 different concrete mixture designs that have been placed over a 10 year period. There is no other method as reliable as field testing to get reference data for service life models. In field testing all interacted deterioration is included - e.g. chloride penetration is interacting with carbonation and frost deterioration. Field testing includes e.g. moisture, salt exposure, temperature and solar radiation variations and effects of carbon dioxide and hydration with time. This presentation is mainly concentrated on relatively new highway field testing and sheltered carbonation testing in Finland. Some field results and comparison with laboratory testing results are presented [1].
