This paper studies the effect of aircraft deicer on deicer-scaling resistance and frost resistance of airport pavement concrete. The mass loss and surface profile of non-air-entrained and air-entrained concrete eroded by water and aircraft deicer are analysed. The surface profile, mass loss rate and relative dynamic elasticity modulus of air-entrained concrete eroded by water and 5% aircraft deicer are discussed during freeze-thaw cycles. It is shown that the low and medium concentration deicer has a negative effect on the deicer-scaling resistance of concrete, and 5% aircraft deicer has the greatest influence. Adding air-entraining agent can improve the deicer-scaling resistance of concrete. Compared with water, 5% aircraft deicer has a negative effect on the frost resistance of air-entrained concrete. The deicer-scaling resistance and frost resistance of air-entrained concrete meet requirements for airport pavement in the most severely cold regions in China.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
