Abstract:
As part of a research program studying corrosion inhibitors, disodium tetrapropenyl succinate (DAS) and diammonium tetrapropenyl succinate (DSS) were added to concrete during mixing. Other mixtures included a plain air-entrained control concrete and air-entrained concrete containing either of two commercial corrosion-inhibiting admixtures. This paper reports the concrete material properties of air content, absorption, resistance to freezing and thawing, and compression strength. The DAS and DSS concretes had much lower absorption than the other concretes, had good resistance to freezing and thawing, and had acceptable compression strength.
