Terracon has completed freeze-thaw testing of three pre-cast Top Gard samples provided to Terracon’s Cincinnati, Ohio laboratory on November 27, 2012. Two of the three samples (Sample ID 9962A and 9962B) were 6-1/2” diameter and 2-1/4” tall, where the third (Sample ID 9962C) was 4-1/2” diameter and 1-1/4” tall. The concrete mix is reportedly air entrained 5000 psi design strength with 3/8” maximum aggregate size. Freeze-thaw testing was performed in general accordance with ASTM C-666 Method A. Samples were subjected to a total of 307 cycles, and were periodically removed for evaluation, consisting of visual rating and measurements of weight loss to assess durability. The table below summarizes the test results and corresponding rating.

Sample ID No. of Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Initial Weight (grams)

Final Weight (grams)

% Weight Loss

9962A 307 2130.0 2115.0 0.7%

9962B 307 1995.3 1992.0 0.2%

9962C 307 520.1 517.0 0.6%

The average weight loss for the samples is 0.5%, which is considered to be representative of concrete that exhibits a high resistance to freeze-thaw damage. Based on the results, this concrete is considered highly durable in environments where freeze-thaw conditions exist in the presence of saturating moisture.
