Abstract
In order to assure the outer concrete of Longtan dam in China possesses excellent of frost resistance, the losses of strength, mass and air void characteristics of roller compacted concrete (RCC) containing fly ash, superplasticizer and a novel MgO-bearing expansive agent (HNM) were studied using the freezing-thawing method ASTM C666. The results show that there is a linear correlation between strength and mass losses in RCC subjected to cycles of freezing and thawing.There is a relationship between the air void spacing factor and the frost resistance of RCC. However, for RCC containing fly ash and superplasticizer a spacing factor of 0.25 mm is not necessary. Using a water:binder ratio of 0.48 in RCC containing 50% fly ash and 8% HNM a durability factor of over D-300 can be achieved provided the spacing factor is less than 0.4 mm. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
