Abstract
The premature deterioration of concrete infrastructures exposed to sodium chloride (NaCl) salts and thermal cycling is a major concern for governmental transportation agencies and academia. NaCl salts can cause damage and rapid deterioration of concrete due to physical and chemical aspects, including salt scaling, corrosion of rebars, ice and salt crystallizations and/or deleterious chemical reactions. This thesis discusses how NaCl solutions can cause damage in concrete in the presence of thermal cycling and how such damage can be mitigated.
