Influence of concrete hardness on it resistance to ice abrasion

Abstract: The previous development of the methodology for applying the method of hardness testing to assess the resistance of concrete to the abrasive effect of ice made it possible to justify the possibility of using hardness testing as a method of obtaining a direct quantitative indicator of the resistance of concrete to ice abrasion. 

In this paper the methodology for applying the method of hardness testing was improved in the framework of the presentation of the research results and their statistical treatment. The paper presents a nomogram of the ice resistance to ice abrasion of concrete surface depending on the hardness of the cement stone and hardness of concrete along all surface of the sample (total hardness of concrete). The tests of the hardness of various concrete compositions carried out by the authors made it possible to compare the assessment of the hardness and resistance to ice abrasion. On this basis it became possible to predict the resistance to ice abrasion of concrete, which should be used in the zone of ice influence on engineering structures.
