Experimental study on pore structure and dynamic mechanical properties of modified rubber concrete after freeze-thaw cycle by Minggao Chen, Shujie Yang, Shuyuan Wang, Yan Zhou

“…With the increase of freeze-thaw cycles, the porosity of the specimens increases continuously. The elastic action of rubber particles can reduce the increase of the internal porosity of concrete under the action of freeze-thaw cycles and reduce the internal porosity of concrete materials. (3) The peak stress and dissipated energy of three kinds of concrete specimens decreased linearly due to freeze-thaw cycle, and the decrease of plain concrete was higher than that of modified rubber concrete. …”
