NaCl (sodium chloride), commonly used as deicing salt on roads and pathways during winter, can significantly impact the durability of concrete structures through freeze-thaw (FT) cycles. These cycles occur when water that has absorbed NaCl freezes and thaws, expanding and contracting within the concrete’s pore structure. This process is critical as it can lead to accelerated deterioration of concrete, affecting its structural integrity and lifespan, particularly in regions with severe winter conditions.
