Abstract Salt scaling is a major damage problem for concrete pavements in cold environments. Salt scaling is a type of superficial damage caused by freezing and thawing a saline solution on the surface of concrete. Effects of a new composite Portland cement and air void on deicer scaling resistance of concrete were investigated in this paper. Another objective is to investigate effects of compressive strength, tensile strength, abrasion resistance and water penetration on the freeze-thaw deicer salt scaling. Specimens were tested for freeze-thaw deicer salt scaling resistance in accordance with ASTM C672 test method. Surface strengths of concrete play an important role in salt scaling resistance. There is no appropriate relationship between compressive strength and salt scaling resistance, when concrete mixtures are made with various cementitious materials. Results reveal that the mixture containing composite Portland cement with entrained air bubbles has the best performance in salt scaling test.
