Maus, Sönke (author), Bahafid, Sara (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Jacobsen, Stefan (author), Geiker, Mette Rica (author)Frost salt scaling of concrete is related to cyclic freezing and melting of a few millimeter thick deicer solution on the surface of the concrete. It is almost absent when pure water is freezing and reaches a maximum at a so-called pessimum concentration that for NaCl is around 3%. Different mechanisms have been suggested to explain this...journal article 2023

Bahafid, Sara (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Jacobsen, Stefan (author), Geiker, Mette (author)We simulate the glue-spall stress due to mechanical interactions between a frozen saline solution (brine-ice composite) and a non-air entrained concrete surface including the impact of the micro-structure of the frozen solution. The presence of brine channels at the ice/concrete interface was found to be a prerequisite to induce stress during...journal article 2022
