Freeze-thaw cycles and chemical attack pose a serious problem for concrete structures in cold and severe environments. This investigation deals with the exposure of high-strength concrete to freezing and thawing and sulfate attack in controlled environment. Experimental tests consisted of measuring the compression strength, tensile strength. Test results revealed that high-strength concrete was still durable after 50 cycles of freezing and thawing, and simulation of corrosive conditions in chemical solutions 2%(NH4)2SO4.
