Cement samples impregnated with water and with 5, 9, 13, 18 and 26 per cent NaC1 solutions have been subjected to temperature cycles between +5 and -70 degrees C and changes in their dimensions and heat content determined. The results are consistent with the theory proposed by the author for frost action in the absence of chemicals and with the findings of a study of phase transitions of NaC1 solutions adsorbed in porous glass. These observations can be explained by the fact that solution contained in the pores, when cooled below the bulk freezing point, remains in a liquid-like state. This condition gives rise to instability, which is eliminated by mass transfer. If the process cannot proceed at a required rate, mechanical damage occurs. T...
