This document specifies three test methods for the estimation of the freeze-thaw resistance of concrete with
regard to internal structural damage. It can be used either to compare new constituents or new concrete
compositions against a constituent or a concrete composition that is known to give adequate performance in
the local environment or to assess the test results against some absolute numerical values based on local
experiences.
Extrapolation of test results to assess different concrete i.e. new constituents or new concrete compositions
requires an expert evaluation.
There is no established correlation between the results obtained by the three test methods. All tests will
clearly identify poor and good behaviour, but they differ in their assessment of marginal behaviour.
