Abstract
Within the Finnish DuraInt research project (Effect of
Interacted Deterioration Parameters on Service Life of
Concrete Structures in Cold Environments, 2008 - 2011)
laboratory studies on the effect of frost deterioration
on chloride penetration and carbonation were performed.
After frost testing and internal deterioration, samples
were exposed to varying levels of chlorides to
determination penetration and the chloride migration
coefficient, which showed a clear impact due to frost
cracking. Field testing is also on-going to evaluate the
effect of frost on chloride penetration and carbonation
at highway circumstances in the Nordic climate. The final
aim is a more accurate estimation of bridge and
infrastructure service life.
