Study on the relationship between de-icing material and concrete durability

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of some types of de-icing material used for improving road surface friction on concrete durability. Specifically, anti-frost-damage to concrete caused by CMA (Calcium Magnesium Acetate) and NaCl when they were used as de-icing agent were studied by investigating past researches, conducting substantiation tests and analyzing the resultant data. The main causes of deterioration were clarified and an appropriate deterioration prediction equation was thus obtained
