Equation for the Degradation of Uniaxial Compression Stress of Concrete due to Freeze-Thaw Damage

To study the freeze-thaw damage characteristics of concrete, the uniaxial compressive tests of concrete under different number of freeze-thaw cycles were conducted, and the damage variable of freeze-thaw was obtained. The test results showed that the stress was a function of strain and freeze-thaw d...
