The Effect Of Calcium Chloride On Air-Entrained Concrete, Gerard Francis Hofstaedter

Masters Theses

"The essence of the problem is not fully set forth in the title in that all aspects are not covered. In this case, the term "effect" means how the compressive strength and the modulus of elasticity vary with the addition of calcium chloride...Many pages will be found concerning the relative merits of plain concrete versus air-entrained concrete. All phases of the problem have been covered thoroughly. Investigations have been conducted on both plain and air-entrained concrete to determine the compressive strength, flexural strength, durability and workability"--Introduction, page 1.
