Tests for Thermal and Weathering Properties of Aggregates: Determination of Resistance to Freezing and Thawing
Also Known As:
BS EN 1367-1:2007 is a standard that outlines a specific test method used to determine an aggregate's resistance to freezing and thawing. The purpose of the test is to assess how aggregates behave when subjected to the cyclic action of freezing and thawing, which can cause stresses on the material. The degree of water saturation and the rate of cooling are factors that affect the stresses experienced by aggregates due to frost.
The standard specifies that the test is applicable to aggregates within the particle size range of 4 mm to 63 mm. By conducting this test, one can obtain information on the aggregate's ability to withstand the weathering effects of freezing and thawing. The results of the test provide valuable insights for assessing the resistance of aggregates to this particular form of weathering.
