Sažetak
Freeze–thaw damage and salt erosion are important factors that influence the durability of concrete. In this study, degradation laws of concrete in salt freeze–thaw environment were discussed from the microscopic perspective based on the 3D reconstruction of computed tomography images. A damage model based on concrete aggregate volume and porosity was constructed. Furthermore, the main causes of concrete degradation in the salt freeze–thaw environment were analyzed. Results reveal that, with the increase in salt freeze–thaw cycles, the damage of concrete intensifies gradually, and the uniaxial compressive strength declines steadily. Concrete damages have two causes, namely, changes in concrete porosity and variations in concrete aggregate volume. Damages caused by aggregate volume changes are divided into frost heaving and peeling. In accordance with the constructed damage model, the porosity of concrete materials changes slightly, whereas concrete aggregate volume varies significantly. Aggregate volume changes are the main causes of intensified concrete damages and decreased compressive strength. Research conclusions provide theoretical references to disclosing microscopic damage mechanism of concrete in the salt freeze–thaw environment.
