DOI: 10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2020.119322
Abstract: Abstract This study aims to explore the possibility of using calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement to prevent early-age frost damage. CSA-based and ordinary Portland cement (OPC)-based mortars with and without calcium nitrate were exposed to −10 °C… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ma15186282
Abstract: To meet the requirements of durability design for concrete suffering frost damage, several test standards have been launched. Among the various damage indexes such as deteriorated compressive strength, relative dynamic elastic modulus (RDEM), residual deformation,… read more here.
