Abstract

The speed of destruction of concrete under cyclic freezing is connected with the structure
of hydrated phase of a hardened cement paste. On the example of steam cured concrete
on blasfurnace cement the capacity of such concrete to relax the tension, which is
provided by the stability of gelatin phases and contributes to the increase of freeze-thaw
resistance of concrete, is demonstrated.
