PREFACE
In 1990 RILEM TC 117 FDC “Freeze Thaw and Deicing Salt Resistance” had its
inaugural session here in Essen. Since then we have had meetings in Great
Britain/Brighton, Sweden/Lund, France/Lyon, Switzerland/Dübendorf, Canada/Québéc,
Norway/Trondheim, Japan/Sapporo and Finland/Espoo.
The committee consists of: Chairman: Max J.Setzer, Germany; Secretary: Rainer
Auberg, Germany; Members: Dirch Bager, Denmark; Gjöran Fagerlund, Sweden;
Volker Hartmann, Germany; Stefan Jacobsen, Norway; Don Janssen, USA; Heikki
Kukko, Finland; Jaques Marchand, Canada; Takashi Miura, Japan; Per-Eric Petersson,
Sweden; Michel Pigeon, Canada; Terje F.Rônning, Norway; Eric Sellevold, Norway;
Eberhard Siebel, Germany; Jochen Stark, Germany; Werner Studer, Switzerland;
Corresponding Members: Christian Clergue, France; J.R. Clifton, USA; Corinne
Dubois, France; Geoffrey Frohnsdorf, USA; Y.Guerpillon, France; J.Prost, France;
A.Reymond, France; Kenneth A.Snyder, USA; Rupert Springenschmid, Germany.
During the tenure of this committee remarkable research efforts have been given and
round robin testing has been done by the committee members covering all aspects of
basic research in frost action, application and test procedures. It has been a great honour
for me to chair this committee. I want to thank all the members for their constructive co-
operation, excellent discussions and personal support. The work has been a fruitful
exchange of ideas, experience and experimental results.
The workshop here in Essen should be a culminating effort which has its basis in the
work of this RILEM TC 117 FDC. The resonance of consensus researchers indicates that
the topic of this work is still of high interest both for people in practice confronted with
durability problems and for researchers in the basic and applied field. The proceedings of
this workshop should be a basis and starting point for the future research work in freeze
thaw and deicing salt resistance. There are still unsolved problems in the basic
understanding of the dynamic process of freezing and thawing and deicing salt attack, in
the chemical and physical processes involved and in measuring the internal damage due
to these attacks. Therefore, RILEM General Council decided to start a new technical
committee: RILEM TC IDC “Internal Damage of Concrete due to Frost Action”.
I am honored to be the host of this international workshop. I thank all the authors for
their contributions. Many thanks to the sponsors of the workshop: the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft, the Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Forschung des Landes
Nordrhein-Westfalen, the Readymix AG, the E.Schwenk Zementwerke KG, the
Bundesverband Deutsche Beton- und Fertigteilindustrie e.V., the Katzenberger GmbH &
Co. KG, the Dyckerhoff Zement-GmbH and the University GH Essen. And I thank my
secretaries of RILEM TC 117 FDC, Dr. Hartmann (until 1992) and Mr. Auberg (since
1992) for their work and for their dedication.
I hope that both the workshop and this book are a source of insight for the participants
and the readers of these proceedings.

Description:This book forms the proceedings of the international workshop to be held in Essen, Germany. This workshop summarises the conclusion of the technical committee's investigations into the resistance of concrete to freeze-thaw attack, specific in this to resistance with or without de-icing chemicals.
