• Abstract:
  Concrete freeze-thaw durability is prominently linked to the air void system ; within the concrete. Concrete pavements in Kansas undergo repetitive ; freeze-thaw cycles. Total air content measurements currently used on fresh ; concrete do not provide any indication of the air void size distribution. The ; Super Air Meter (SAM) addresses this issue by providing the air content ; and an additional number, the SAM number, which is claimed by the ; manufacturer to correlate to the concrete hardened air void spacing factor.
