Figure 1 shows that when ice begins to form in region A, the unfrozen
water in that region will move towards the non-saturated region B. As
mentioned previously, the water is not able to move freely into region B.
The flow of water into the porous medium will cause a frictional resistance
and create a hydraulic pressure gradient that follows the laws of hydraulic
flow as proposed by Darcy.

capillary pores will freeze before water trapped in smaller gel pores since
they are under less stress (Powers 1945).

With this said, the Hydraulic Pressure Theory would depend on:
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 15
During a freezing period, the freezable water in a capillary cavity will turn
to ice while, at this point, the water in the gel pores would be supercooled
instead of frozen due to the small size of the pores. As the temperature
drops below the freezing temperature of the water in the capillary pores,
thermodynamic equilibrium is disturbed. The supercooled water in the gel
pores will gain free energy much faster than the ice in the capillary
cavities. Consequently, the gel water has a higher energy potential that
enables it to move toward the ice in the cavity in order to restore
equilibrium. This diffusion of water thus causes expansion of the ice in the
capillary cavity, which in turn can result in expansion of the concrete.

CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 17
Ice nucleation begins in a pore and the surrounding pore water increases
in concentration as described by the osmotic theory. Pore water contained
in gel pores cannot freeze at temperatures higher than -78 oC (Pigeon
1995). Thus, a system of channels with unfrozen water connects capillary
pores throughout the cement paste. Although capillary pores in a good
quality concrete are discontinuous, the system of channels of unfrozen
water provides water to feed the growth of ice crystals in larger pores
(Adler-Vignes & Dijkema, 1975). This being said, ice formation is directly
related to the amount of freezable water in the concrete. The amount of
freezable water is limited by the initial water to cement ratio. Thus, limitting
the w/c will limit the deterioration of the concrete (Powers 1945).
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 18
Further studies showed that the hydraulic pressures generated during the
freezing of water in large capillary pores increased approximately in
proportion to the square of the distance to the nearest void (Powers and
Helmuth 1953). This statement thus reinforced the requirement of
producing a system of closely spaced air voids. In 1949, Powers’ paper
recommended a spacing factor of 250 m. It was shown that this value
could be adequate for a wide range of concrete and was adopted by many
standards (Pigeon et al. 1986; Pigeon et al. 1985)

Source: (Pigeon and Lachance 1981)
It can be seen from Figure 3, that a concrete specimen with a w/c of 0.5
will show rapid deterioration based on length change for spacing factors
higher than 680 m. The same test showed that for a specimen with a w/c
of 0.6, the critical spacing factor was 570 m (Pigeon and Lachance
1981). Thus, as the w/c ratio of a concrete specimen increases, the critical
spacing factor must decrease to account for the added amount of
freezable water and the porosity of the cement paste. These critical
spacing factors were developed based the on the hydraulic pressure
theory proposed by Powers, in order to account for surface scaling in the
presence of de-icing chemicals. It was found that a spacing factor of 200
m would provide adequate frost resistance for all freeze-thaw
mechanisms (Pigeon 1989).

1.3.2 Aggregates
Aggregates are generally classed as fine or coarse aggregates. Concrete
mix designs typically contain a combination of both coarse and fine
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 22
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 23
The forced expulsion of water from within the aggregate particle follows
Darcy’s Law (Powers 1949). The hydraulic pressure of the pore water
flowing through the aggregate is therefore dependant on the size of the
aggregate. Pore water in larger aggregates has a larger distance to travel,
thus increasing the total hydraulic pressure within an aggregate. Research
by Verbeck and Landgren has shown that there exists a critical particle
size, above which particles will deteriorate. Particles below the critical
particle size would not deteriorate, as the hydraulic pressure is not able to
exceed the tensile resistance of the particle. Assuming that water can be
expelled from the aggregate particle, the following expression can
estimate the critical particle size (Verbeck and Landgren, 1960).
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 24
Both previous parameters assume that the aggregate particles are fully
saturated. Thus, the onset of deterioration would begin immediately upon
freeze-thaw cycling. Generally, concrete in field conditions is not fully
saturated. The frost resistance of the aggregate is dependant on the
degree of saturation because, as with cement paste, there exists a critical
degree of saturation below which the aggregate would contain sufficient
empty space to accommodate the expansion of freezing water. Thus, like
cement paste, the aggregate resistance to frost deterioration is highly
dependent on its permeability, pore structure, air content, relative
humidity, etc.
Aggregates with very low porosity generally exhibit high frost resistance.
They are often not saturated and if they are fully saturated the amount of
freezable water is negligible since it would not develop significant
pressures to disrupt the aggregate.
Aggregates with a very high porosity also generally have good frost
resistance, as they provide sufficient drainage properties to prevent
hydraulic pressures from developing. These aggregates are rarely critically
saturated under field conditions (Pigeon & Pleau, 1995).

1.3.4 Admixtures
The mixing process creates shearing forces that subdivide larger voids
and create smaller voids. For a given volume, smaller voids have a lower
spacing factor than larger voids (Pigeon 1995) and as previously
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 26
The production of several smaller voids is not sufficient on its own. As any
system will tend towards a lower state of free energy, smaller voids will
tend to coalesce and re-produce larger air voids. Thus, air-entraining
agents must also stabilize the already formed air voids. In Figure 4, the
hydrophilic end of air entraining molecules are absorbed at the air-water
interface; this decreases the surface tension and produces an elastic film
around the bubble (Mielenz et al. 1958a). This elastic film helps resist
coalescence during collisions during the mixing process. Cement particles
are positively charged. The hydrophobic end of the air-entraining agent is
negatively charged and it has been suggested that this end causes the air
voids to be bound to the paste (i.e. cement particles are attracted to the air
voids) (Mielenz et al. 1958a).
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 27
An external parameter that strongly influences the stability of the air void
system is viscosity of the cement paste (Pigeon 1989). Movement of air
voids decreases as the viscosity of a mix increases. With less movement,
there is less coalescence and air voids are better retained in the mix.
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 28
cushion effects that enable air bubbles to absorb shocks and prevent
coalescence. Thus, air void stability is enhanced with finer cement
particles (Du and Folliard 2005).
Aggregates also influence the viscosity of the mix. A large quantity of fine
aggregate increases the viscosity of the mix and thus creates a ―grid
effect‖ that physically prevents the escape of air voids (Powers, 1964).
The water to cement ratio has a physical effect on the formation of air
voids in concrete. The size of the air voids decreases with w/c (Backstrom
et al. 1958). A concrete mix with a lower w/c will have a higher viscosity;
wherein the higher viscosity translates into a reduction in air void
coalescence. However, the stiffer the mix, the more difficult it becomes to
entrain air. This is because there is a higher energy demand to shear air
bubbles in the concrete mix. But it should also be noted that the air
content required to obtain satisfactory durability performance decreases
with water to cement ratio (Mielenz et al. 1958c).
Mixing, placing and finishing techniques also play an important role in air
entrainment efficiency. Air entrainment occurs during the mixing process.
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 29
The mixing stage should thus be long enough to ensure adequate air
entrainment of a concrete mix (Powers 1964).
1.3.4.3 Superplasticizers
Superplasticizers are essentially high-range water reducing admixtures.
These admixtures enable the production of flowing concrete and enable
the formulation of high strength concrete for a given workability.
Superplasticizers can provide sufficient workability even at very low water
to cement ratios. Considering what has been previously discussed, there
exists conflicting results regarding the effect of superplasticizers on the air
void system of a concrete mix. It has been shown that superplasticizers do
not have an effect on the critical spacing factor of concrete (Pigeon 1989).
Two identical concrete specimens, one with and one without
superplasticizers were tested and showed no significant difference in
critical spacing factor. Further work done by Pigeon and Langlois (1991)

CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 33
Proportions of cement and fine fillers are higher than in typical concrete as
they increase cohesion and stability of the mix; along with cement
admixtures which are essential to providing adequate flow and workability
of the mix. Superplasticizers play a key role in increasing the workability of
the mix but often compromise cohesion at high dosages. A viscosity-
modifying admixture often accompanies the addition of superplasticizers to
retain cohesion and prevent washout.
As with normal concrete, water plays a significant role in the density of the
hydrated cement paste and the overall strength and durability of the
hardened concrete. Often, improper site mixing is the consequence of
adding water to achieve workability. With SCC, any added water will
encourage washing out and increases the risk of segregation. Considering
that segregation and bleeding resistance are the most difficult parameters
to achieve in SCC, it is imperative to control water addition in SCC mixes.
Thus, it is recommended that free water content remain under 200 litres
per cubic metre of concrete and that the water to cementitious materials
ratio be kept under 0.50 (Gaimster and Gibbs 2001). Figure 6 summarizes
the mix design of SCC in comparison to traditional normal strength
concrete.

CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 36
Further work done by Yamato et al. has shown that mixes with 0.45 w/c
ratio containing VMA exhibited poor frost durability. This was explained by
the fact that mixes containing VMA had a greater porosity compared to
control mixes without VMA. Porosity measured using mercury intrusion
porosimetry for mixes with VMA ranged from 58.9 to 71.7 mm3/g
compared to 56.1 mm3/g found in a control mix with no VMA. Along with a
higher porosity, the mixes containing VMA had a larger concentration of
capillary pores that were larger than 10 nm (Khayat 1995; Yamato et al.
1991).
Khayat and Assaad have shown that air void stability can be obtained in
optimized SCC mix designs and proper agitation. They warned that the
addition of VMA and high range water reducing admixtures in SCC mixes
should be done with caution in order to ensure proper air-void stability in
self-consolidating concrete (Khayat and Assaad 2002).
The typical mix design approach for normal concrete is to produce a cost
effective mix that will provide adequate performance criteria such as
strength or durability once hardened. The mix design for SCC differs in
that the key parameter in mix design becomes flowability. An SCC mix
must flow under its own weight without blocking and still provide the
necessary performance criteria once hardened.
1.4.3.2 Superplasticizers
Although further research is needed to determine the effect of
superplasticizers on the air-void stability of concrete, it has been
mentioned that superplasticizers (SP) are a n important cause of instability
in the spacing factor. Larger air void formation due to coalescence of air
voids results in a coarser air void system. The effect of SP on air void
stability is highly variable and is influenced by many parameters such as
Vimal N. Patel

the type of air entrainment and the characteristics of the cement (Plante et
al. 1989). Field tests have shown even greater discrepancies between air
void content and spacing factor relationships.

With this being said, for more than two decades reports have suggested
that good quality concrete was associated with, in addition to strength, low
values of sorptivity achieved through proper casting and curing conditions
(Ho et al. 1989; Ho and Lewis 1988). It was clear that strength increases
alone could not meet durability requirements in all environmental
conditions and that the transport properties of the cover concrete was
paramount (Bickley and Mitchell 2001).
The inverse relationship between air entrainment and strength has created
conflicting positions regarding durability. In the pursuit of higher strength
concrete, the importance of air entrainment has often been compromised.

As can be seen in Figure 11, PC80 and PC60 provide much greater
resistance to freeze-thaw cycling. Further research investigating the
impact of air entrainment on the durability performance of HSC has
suggested that a minimal level of air entrainment (2-3%) for HSC in the
0.25-0.35 w/cm range was necessary to ensure high freeze-thaw
resistance even after 300 cycles (Ekenel and Myers 2005). Figures 12 and
13 show the visible deterioration of two concrete mixes subjected to 300
freeze-thaw cycles.

CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 42
Tests investigating water uptake and ice formation in concrete before and
after freeze-thaw cycling have showed that even small increases in
freezable water in concrete can lead to very large levels of deterioration.
However, the increase of freezable water in high strength concrete after
freeze-thaw cycling was lower than that of normal strength concrete
(Jacobsen et al. 1996).

1.6 Sorptivity
1.6.1 Water movement in porous materials
Many building materials used in the construction industry are porous. The
ingress of moisture and the transport properties of these materials have
become the underlying source for many engineering problems such as
corrosion of reinforcing steel, and damage due to freeze-thaw cycling or
wetting and drying cycles. In the 1970’s, Hall suggested the importance of
studying the unsaturated flow of water in porous mediums. The capillary
potential (suction), the water diffusivity (D), and the hydraulic
conductivity (K) were stated as being the three key parameters that
needed further investigation (Hall 1977). Following this, research was
conducted to devise experimental methods to quantify and model
transport properties. Sorptivity was introduced as a testing method that
consisted of a uni-directional water absorption front within a specimen.
The cumulative absorbed volume of water per unit area of inflow surface
(i) was related to the square root of the elapsed time (t0.5 ). The following
relationship was developed.
i = S t0.5
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 44
Following its introduction, sorptivity testing was more fully investigated and
conditions were set in place to ensure that the absorption relationship
would accurately describe the kinetics of capillary absorption. The four
conditions are:
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 45
With these conditions and further investigation it was also noted that a
small initial value was often present at t=0. It has been accepted that this
was due to the initial rapid filling of open surface pores on the side faces of
the test specimens (Hall and Tse 1986). To account for this Hall,
introduced an initial value constant A into the relationship to give the
following:
i(t) = S t0.5 + A

CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 46

CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 47
By the mid 1990’s, it was generally accepted that good quality concrete
was represented by low sorptivity values and extensive work had been
done on the influence of various factors on water sorptivity. It was shown
that the quality of concrete increased with curing time, and that it varied
based on the source and type of material used. The use of admixtures and
the source of Portland cement also had a large influence on the quality of
concrete described by sorptivity testing (Ho and Chirgwin 1996).
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 48
The theory behind the ISAT is based on the assumption that dry concrete
will absorb water at a higher initial rate. The rate of absorption would then
decrease as the capillary voids become filled with moisture (Claisse 1997).
The equation for a liquid traveling through a single capillary tube is given
by the following.
F n
ISA at
where ISA is the initial absorption (m3/m2/s), t is the absorption time (s);
a,n are regression parameters; is the area under the cap (m2); and F is
the flow rate (m3 /s) (Levitt 1969).

CHAPTER 1 – LITERATURE REVIEW 49
Although both of these tests directly measure the rate of capillary sorption,
the tests are performed over a period of one hour. It has been stated that
these tests provide insufficient information regarding modeling of long-
term capillary transport properties and that they are limited to describing
the surface effects on capillary absorption (Martys and Ferraris 1997).

Figure 20: RH of the air inside the conditioning containers versus time
As shown in Figure 20, the RH inside the sealed containers did not
change significantly after 10 days, thus a 15 day criterion was established
to ensure a uniform RH throughout the specimen. Following pre -
conditioning, specimens had to be sealed along their curved sides.
Electrical tape or duct tape was typically used for this purpose. Currently,
the use of tape has resulted in skewed results caused by leaking and
seepage along the edge of specimens due to poor adherence between the
tape and concrete. This phenomenon can be seen in Figure 21.

The addition of the constant was designed to take into account the initial
absorption due to the non-exposed side faces of the specimen. Even with
this constant, further work should be pursued to determine an adequate
sealant material that would eliminate the need for an initial absorption
coefficient as well as to increase the co nsistency of standardized testing.

2.1.2 Materials
To determine the influence of material properties on the rate of absorption,
three different concrete mixes were cast. Mix A consisted of a high
strength concrete without air entrainment. Mix B consisted of a high
strength concrete with air entrainment. Finally, Mix C was a self-
consolidating concrete (SCC). Details of the mixture designs are shown in
Table 2.

The mixing procedure produced 39 cylinders for each mix, three of which
were used for compressive strength tests. Additionally, one 150 mm x 300
mm cylinder was cast for each mix and used for density tests.

The self-consolidating concrete, Mix C (SCC - No AEA) was not tested for
air content or slump but instead for slump flow according to ASTM C 1611.

2.2.1 Freeze-Thaw
Specimens were subjected to various levels of freeze-thaw cycling before
absorption testing. The freeze-thaw cycling was encompassed into the
experiment in an attempt to determine the degree of micro-cracking that
occurred in the various concrete specimens. Confirmation of more severe
cracking in high strength concrete could be assessed through the
deterioration by freeze-thaw cycling. The cut specimens were placed in
Styrofoam forms which exposed only the eventual sorptivity test surface of
the specimens to freeze-thaw cycling. Each form held 3 specimens and fit
into a single standard pan within the freeze -thaw chamber. The Styrofoam
forms and concrete specimens can be seen in Figure 26.

CHAPTER 2 – EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM 64
Each mix was divided into six batches, with each batch being subjected to
its respective level of freeze-thaw cycling. Batches were exposed to 0,
50,100, 150, 200, or 300 freeze-thaw cycles. Within each batch, 6
specimens were tested. The specimens, freeze-thaw cycles, and surface
finish types are summarized in Table 5.

to keep it free of wax sealant. Melted wax was the n applied with a brush to
the remaining surfaces. Care was taken to ensure that the all
imperfections, pits, and small dimples were filled with melted wax. The
paraffin was allowed to cool, forming a watertight and airtight seal. A
second layer of wax sealant was applied in the same manner to ensure
that a proper seal was achieved. Both sealing procedures as outlined
above were repeated for Mixes B (Regular - AEA), Mix CC (SCC Cast
Face – No AEA) and Mix CF (SCC Finished Face – No AEA).

CHAPTER 2 – EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM 68
Water levels in the container were checked daily to ensure that the 1 to 3
mm immersion range was maintained at all times throughout the
experiment.
First, the oven-dry mass of each specimen was obtained after several
drying cycles. To obtain this value, each specimen was oven-dried at a
temperature of 105 oC for not less than 24 hours, allowed to cool under
ambient conditions, and then weighed and having its mass recorded. This
cycle was repeated until the percent-change of mass between two
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 2 – EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM 69
successive readings was less than 0.5%. The final, lowest, value was
retained as the oven-dry mass.
Second, the saturated mass after immersion was measured after cyclic
immersion cycles. The specimens were immersed in water at
approximately 21 oC for not less than 48 hours before being removed,
surface-dried and weighed. Their masses were measured and recorded.
Similarly to the oven-dry mass, this process was repeated until two
successive values fell within a 0.5% percent change. The final, highest
value was retained as the saturated mass after immersion.
Third, the saturated mass after boiling was measured by placing the
specimens in a metal receptacle suitable for heating over a hotplate,
immersing the specimens in water and bringing this water to boil for five
hours. The specimens remained immersed as they cooled by natural heat
loss under ambient conditions until they reached room temperature. A
maximum of 14 hours of cooling was allowed. At this point, the specimens
were surface-dried and their masses were measured and recorded.
Finally, after drying, immersion and boiling, the apparent mass was
determined for each specimen. The specimen was suspended from the
base hook of an electronic balance and immersed in a bucket of water.
The mass of the buoyant specimen was recorded as the apparent mass.
By using these four mass values the results of the density test, found in
Appendix A, were obtained according to calculations outlined in the ASTM
C 642 – 97 standard. Figure 29 illustrates the permeable pore space
results of the ASTM C 642 – 97 standard over the depth of all mixes.

Figure 29: Variation of permeable pore space over the depth of all mixes
It is assumed that the volume of permeable pore space over the depth can
be used as an indicator of the uniformity of the density of concrete
specimens. It can be seen that the values of the apparent densities for
each mix design were essentially similar. A depth level with a greater
volume of permeable pore space would be considered more susceptible to
absorption and could be produced by poor particle grading. Segregation
would cause large aggregates to sink leaving the both the top and bottom
portion of the specimen with a more dominant particle size. Greater
particle grading which is synonymous to greater density would be
compromised in cases of segregation. In this case, there was no definitive
trend between the top and bottom of the specimens, particularly for the
SCC mix. Therefore, it was concluded that segregation was not evident in
these specimens and the possibility could be ignored.

CHAPTER 3 – RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 71
The first parameter of i nterest was the w/c of the mix designs. Mixes A
(Regular – No AEA), B (Regular - AEA), and C (SCC – No AEA) were
designed with a w/c of 0.50. This ratio was calculated based on the free
water added over the quantity of cement used. It should be noted however
that the addition of superplasticizers and viscosity modifying admixture to
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 3 – RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 72
Mix C (SCC - No AEA) could have increased the w/c ratio to 0.52. This
calculation was based on the assumption that the admixtures had a 99%
water content. As mentioned in Chapter 1, mixes with higher w/c require a
smaller spacing factor in order to achieve an equivalent freeze-thaw
resistance. Noting that Mix C (SCC - No AEA) had no air-entrainment, the
previously published literature suggests that it would perform poorly
compared to other mixes with air entrainment or with lower w/c values. On
the same note, the characteristics of the aggregate influenced the
viscosity of the paste. Finer cement was mentioned as a means to
increase air void stability. The current mix designs were considered not to
have a significant difference in fine aggregate content, which ranged from
747 to 777 kg/m3 of natural sand for all three mixes. Visual observations of
the coarse aggregates in Figure 30 revealed cracking through the
aggregate particles. Based on these observations, it would be
recommended to limit the coarse aggregate size to ¼’’ to help avoid
cracking.

CHAPTER 3 – RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 75
The two distinct slopes present in the absorption curves represent the
initial (or early-age) absorption and secondary (or the late-age) absorption.
The initial slope was typically steeper than the secondary slope, signifying
the greater rate of absorption during the early periods of exposure. After
some time, the change in slope of the absorption curve into the late-age
absorption signified the saturation of the specimens. It was assumed that
the saturation of the specimen caused a significant decrease in the
capillary suction of the specimens thus decreasing the rate of absorption
to nearly zero at times. Table 6 summarizes the initial and secondary
absorptions, along with the time at which the transition (nick point) was
considered to occur.

Due to the increased rate of sorptivity, the nick point of the specimens can
occur at a very early time. The importance of the nick point should not be
overlooked as it is an indicator of the level of saturation of the concrete
specimen. This parameter suggests that the nick point can have significant
influence when predicting the service life of a concrete. As was seen, the
secondary absorption remained significantly lower than the initial
sorptivity. Thus, careful consideration as to the identification of the nick
point should be made so as to not confuse the secondary sorptivity with
the initial.

When data from Table 6 was plotted, it can be seen from Figure 32 that
the rate of initial absorption of Mix A (Regular - No AEA) increased at what
seemed a parabolic rate versus the number of freeze-thaw cycles. The
results suggested that freeze-thaw cycling can have a dramatic effect on
the rate of initial absorption of a concrete mix with no air-entrainment.
Results for Mix CC (SCC Cast – No AEA) and CF (SCC Finished – No
AEA) could not be obtained since the samples were deemed un-testable
due to severe deterioration (it can be assumed that Mix C (SCC - No AEA)
would have similar behavioural traits to Mix A (Regular - No AEA) had it
been testable). Further details about Mix C (SCC - No AEA) have been
outlined in the following section.

The data from Mix C (SCC - No AEA) suggested that these specimens
were more prone to damage from freeze-thaw cycling. These assumption
were based on two points; the first being that the nick point occurred much
earlier for specimens from Mix C (SCC - No AEA) than those from Mix A
(Regular - No AEA) (after only 50 cycles). Secondly, the nick point for the
Mix C (SCC - No AEA) specimens occurred between 3-4 hours of
exposure compared to Mix A (Regular - No AEA) which occurred after one
day. This theory was confirmed by the significant deterioration of
specimens from Mix C (SCC - No AEA) beyond 50 cycles of freezing and
thawing (un-testable). Specimens from Mix A (Regular - No AEA) reached
150 cycles before being deemed un-testable.

As mentioned, this particular mix design did not achieve significant bi-
linearity, suggesting it did not reach saturation even after 8 days of
exposure. Although not observed after 8 days, it was assumed that the
specimens would eventually reach a saturation point after which the
secondary rate of sorptivity would come into effect. The finding can have a
noteworthy influence on the relative service life prediction of a mix design.
The delayed bi-linearity of a certain mix design suggests that it would
outperform other mix designs without air-entrainment exposed to the same
environmental conditions.

size of the sorptivity test should have been smaller. As with any other test,
a smaller step size would provide more detailed results. Unfortunately,
changes in step-sizes for sorptivity testing are often more demanding than
other tests. Thus, it should be recommended to carefully choose the
intervals of freeze-thaw cycling before testing to get an accurate estimate
of the shape of the absorption curves.
Based on the previously mentioned data, it can be said that the number of
freeze-thaw cycles can greatly affect the rate of absorption of a concrete
mix with no air-entraining admixture. It was suggested that the
identification of the nick point should be do ne carefully to not confuse low
overall rates of absorption with high initial rates absorption. The presence
of initial absorption, secondary absorption, and the nick point features in
the data reinforces the assumption that sorptivity testing can be used as a
viable testing method to provide information regarding service life
prediction.

CHAPTER 3 – RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 84
Even before the initiation of freeze-thaw cycling, the absorption of the SCC
mix was greater when compared to Mix A (Regular - No AEA) or Mix B
(Regular - AEA). Following exposure to 50 freeze-thaw cycles, the SCC
remained the mix with the greatest absorption. The steepness of the early-
age absorption suggests that the SCC mix was the fastest to reach
saturation. The location of the nick point showed that the SCC mix was the
first to reach saturation as well as having the greatest saturation capacity.
The high level of saturation suggests that the SCC mix was subjected to
severe deterioration and mass loss compared to Mix A (Regular - No AEA)
and Mix B (Regular - AEA). This led to the conclusion that the specimens
were more porous and permeable , which would translate into a material
that is highly susceptible to the ingress of deleterious materials. Analysis
of the density test results showed that the SCC had a greater volume of
permeable pore space (20.9%) compared to Mixes A (Regular - No AEA)
(16.1%) and B (Regular - AEA) (15.1%). The lack of air entrainment in Mix
C (SCC - No AEA) translated into a system that was not comprised of
small air voids with a small spacing factor but instead a high porosity mix
with larges voids spaced further apart. This suggests that the results from
the density test could have been used as preliminary indicators of the
relative performance of each mix design.
The strength of the SCC mix (26.12 MPa) was 88% that of Mix B (Regular
- AEA) (29.73 MPa). But the absorption of Mix C (SCC - No AEA) was
168% greater than Mix B (Regular - AEA). This disparity suggests that
strength cannot be used as the paramount criterion in determining the
durability performance of a concrete specimen. This in addition to the
severe deterioration of specimens exposed to more than 50 freeze-thaw
cycles suggests that the mix design of the SCC has an important
implication as to the durability of the specimens. The deterioration of the
specimens subjected to 100, 150 and 200 cycles can be seen in Figure
39. All specimens exposed to more than 50 freeze-thaw cycles were
Vimal N. Patel
CHAPTER 3 – RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 85

CHAPTER 3 – RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 86
the air voids. Mix C (SCC - No AEA) also contained 6713 ml/m3 of V-MAR
viscosity enhancer which increases the porosity of the paste. The final
observation concerned the 0.50 w/c ratio of the SCC mix. This ratio,
already being at the upper limit for SCC to have resistance to freeze -thaw
deterioration, may not have been representative. Data sheets of V -MAR
and ADVA cast 540 both list water as a non-hazardous ingredient. The
addition of large amounts of viscosity modifying admixtures and
superplasticizers may have compromised the w/c ratio. The additions of
water lead to the most critical manifestation of deterioration, consisting of
the separation of the mortar from the coarse aggregate (Figure 40).
The extensive damage occurring with SCC beyond 50 cycles and the
measurable increase in absorption rates of specimens subjected to 0 and
50 freeze-thaw cycles suggests that the use of SCC in aggressive
environments should be considered only with caution. Further research is
recommended to determine if air entrainment in SCC is possible and
would provide adequate resistance to freeze-thaw deterioration. The use
of viscosity modifying admixtures jointly with superplasticizers in mix
design should also be considered only with significant caution.

Mix B (Regular - AEA) was the only mix design containing AEA, this mix

From Figure 41, it was clear that Mix B (Regular - AEA) significantly
outperformed all other mixes in terms of total absorption over all levels of
freeze-thaw cycles. The total absorption (i.e. increase in susceptibility to
deterioration) only began to increase after 200 freeze-thaw cycles, before
which no significant damage could be detected. Additionally, only Mix B
(Regular - AEA) was testable up to 300 cycles. Figure 42 shows the state

The fine aggregate content of the SCC mix comprised 83% of the total
aggregate content, well above the 50% lower limit (Gaimster and Gibbs

The mix contained a high range water reducer content of 1408 ml/m3 and
a viscosity enhancer content of 6713 ml/m3 to help maintain cohesion and
further prevent washout. But investigation of the exposure surface of the
finished and cast specimens, which are shown in Figure 46, suggests that
localized segregation and bleeding still occurred.

doubts arose as to its effectiveness since it was observed that water was
being drawn up between the tape and the concrete surface. Thus, an
investigation was conducted to evaluate whether paraffin wax would
perform better.
Upon visual review of the sorptivity curves (Figure 46), the specimens
sealed using electrical tape displayed greater absorption than those
coated with paraffin wax. As well, the specimens sealed with electrical
tape exhibited greater variability than those sealed with wax. The results
confirmed theories which stated that the boundary conditions used in
sorptivity testing greatly affect the absorption results (Caliskan 2006;
Claisse 1997; Gonen and Yazicioglu 2007; Martys and Ferraris 1997;

create small openings around the edges of the specimens which drew up
water by capillary suction. In effect, specimens sealed with electrical tape
would have an absorption ring around the edge of the specimen that
would absorb water at a faster rate than the rest of the specimen. In other
words, the absorption rate would not be constant over the entire exposure
surface. This effect was enhanced even further in deteriorated specimens
that no longer had a smooth outer surface. The absorption ring can be
seen in the Figures 48 and 49.

To further investigate this phenomenon, red dye was mixed into the water
to illustrate the absorption path. The initial assumption that the dye would
penetrate the specimens did not materialize. The dye molecules were too
big to penetrate the capillary pores of the concrete specimen and
remained behind on the surface. However, this undesired result actually
provided further proof that electrical tape did not provide an adequate seal
in comparison to paraffin wax as a sealant in sorptivity testing. As can be
seen in Figure 50, the significant presence of red dye along the curved
surface of the taped specimens confirmed that water travelled along the
sides of the specimen and was not solely absorbed by the exposure
surface in question. Examination of the specimens sealed with wax did not
show this characteristic effect.

Statistical analysis on the rates of early-age (0-6 hours) and late-age (1-8
days) absorption further reinforced visual inspection. The F-test was used
to examine variability (with an 80% confidence interval) and the student-T
test was used to evaluate the significance of differences in sample means.
Table 8 consists of contingency tables that summarize the number of
times either the variance or mean of specimens tested with electrical tape
or wax was greater, and as well as the number of times the statistical
analysis resulted in a null hypothesis (no significant difference between
the variance or mean of samples tested with electrical tape or wax.).
As can be seen from Table 8, the variance within specimens tested with
electrical tape was found to be significantly greater 7 times out of 14
during early-age absorption measurements and 8 times out of 14 during

CONCLUSIONS
Three mixes: Mix A (Regular - No AEA), Mix B (Regular - AEA), and Mix C
(SCC - No AEA) were subjected to various levels of freeze-thaw cycling
and were tested for absorption. All mixes were subjected to the same
curing, conditioning, and exposure environment leaving only the mix
design parameters to influence the sorptivity behaviour of the specimens.
