EVS-EN 1367-1:2000

This European Standard specifies a test method which provides information on how aggregate behaves when it is subjected to the cyclic action of freezing and thawing. Note: The stresses on aggregates due to frost depend, amongst other factors, on the degree of water saturation as well as the rate of cooling. The results provide a means for assessing an aggregates resistance to this form of weathering. The test is applicable to aggregates having a particle size between 4 mm and 63 mm.
