Abstract | Freezing and thawing cycles (FTC) on RC columns are a significant problem for vulnerable infrastructure exposed to extreme climate conditions. This problem is exacerbated by the presence of deicing agents that lead to reinforcement corrosion and overall concrete deterioration. Current research has mainly focused on studying the mechanical properties of concrete when exposed to cyclic conditions of freezing and thawing. Few studies have analyzed FTC’s influence or the dual action of FTC and steel corrosion on the structural performance of RC. This paper surveys available literature on the synergistic effects of one or multiple environmental exposures on RC columns and methodologies for inducing frost damage according to current standards. The literature survey is organized as follows: (1) frost damage mechanism; (2) test methods to evaluate frost damage; (3) effect of FTC on concrete mechanical properties; (4) effect of FTC on the structural performance of RC columns; and (5) effect of dual action of FTC and steel corrosion on RC columns. Finally, this paper draws a series of conclusions and recommendations for future work. |
