Precracked reinforced concrete elements were subjected to sustained tensile loading while having one face covered by salt solution and exposed to frost cycles according to the Swedish Standard SS 137244 (Boras method). The test went on for 56 days. The variables in the experiment were the concrete composition, the cover thickness, and load levels. The cracks influenced the scaling apart from exposing the interior of the element to chlorides, and more so for porous concrete. The problem is highly related to the actual testing conditions, which have to be carefully monitored.
