Solidifying AND THAWING:

There are two marvels with respect to the solidifying and defrosting activity on cement.

at the point when water inside solid mass stops it grows 9-10% because of this expansion in the size it applies weight on its encompassing and along these lines making a tractable compel because of which small scale breaks show up in the solid. Because of solidifying these small scale splits form into gaps which brings about interruption of cement.

At the point when the air entrained specialists are available, additional measure of air is there as water extends these air bubble give them thin space and the effort of weight is counteracted.

Second is of osmotic weight: In a solid structure there are two sections, solidified and unfrozen. As the water substance is higher in the solidified part, the osmotic weight is produced and water tends to stream towards the low water focus part. On the off chance that vessels are not accessible, the water creates breaks.

Ordinary cement can not support 3-4 cycles of solidifying and defrosting where as the AEA cement can manage 100 cycles of it.
