Petrographically quantifying the damage to field and lab-cast mortars subject to freeze-thaw cycles and deicer application
Abstract Although calcium oxychloride (Ca-Oxy) is known to damage cementitious materials exposed to calcium chloride (CaCl2) deicers, there is little direct observation of Ca-Oxy in the field due to its instability. This paper uses optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy coupled wit...
