Abstract
Results of laboratory and field tests conducted to study the freeze-thaw durability of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) are presented. Test data suggest that FRC is more resistant to freeze-thaw environment than plain concrete irrespective of the number of cycles. The short metallic fibers apparently contribute to frost resistance of FRC due to their positive effect on the bond strength between fibers and matrix. A prototype FRC slab pavement constructed in the field exhibited good performance. Visual inspection of the prototype pavement indicated that FRC is sufficiently durable and resistant to spalling and scaling by frost action commonly observed in plain concrete pavement in cold regions of China.
