Freeze-Thaw Resistance of Normal and High Strength Concretes Produced with Fly Ash and Silica Fume by Cenk Karakurt, Yıldırım Bayazıt

“…This study is based on determination of the freeze-thaw resistance of air-entrained and non-air-entrained normal strength concrete (NC) and high strength concrete (HSC) produced with fly ash and silica fume according to surface scaling. The procedure allows us to measure the amount of scaling per unit surface area due to a number of well defined freezing and thawing cycles in the presence of deicing salt. …”

Fresnes helps us locate the precise turning points of the penitentiary issue during the war, particularly as it has produced a massive amount of archival material which, unlike most French prisons, has been largely preserved. …”
