- Abstract
This study employed a rapid freezing method to investigate the impact of individual additions of expansion agent, steel fibers, and High Elasticity Module Polyethylene Fiber (HEMPF), as well as their combinations, on the freeze-thaw resistance of High-Strength Concrete (HSC). The findings reveal that the non-air-entrained HSC of C80 exhibits excellent freeze-thaw resistance. However, this resistance is sensitive to the curing environment's humidity. The expansion agent has a negative impact on the freeze-thaw resistance of HSC, while steel fibers and HEMPF fibers have positive effects. Combining HSC with an expansion agent and high elasticity modulus fibers ensures not only high freeze-thaw resistance but also a total alteration of humidity sensitivity, leading to an extended freeze-thaw life of HSC under dry curing conditions.
