Influence <strong>of</strong> Aggregate Type on Deicer Scal<strong>in</strong>g Resistance<br />

There was not a consistent pattern between aggregate type and scal<strong>in</strong>g across both cement<br />

brands and all cur<strong>in</strong>g regimes. Limestone aggregate was associated with the least scal<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />

exactly 50% <strong>of</strong> the situations with cement A. When consider<strong>in</strong>g cement C, limestone was<br />

associated with 70% <strong>of</strong> the situations with least scal<strong>in</strong>g. The magnitudes <strong>of</strong> the differences<br />

between wash<strong>of</strong>f associated with different cur<strong>in</strong>g regimes were more pronounced with<br />

cement A than with cement C. Generally, limestone aggregate GGBFS mixes experienced<br />

significantly more scal<strong>in</strong>g relative to their OPC (0% GGBFS) control mix as GGBFS<br />

quantity <strong>in</strong>creased compared to the same with igneous aggregate mixes. This may be partly<br />

because OPC mixes conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g igneous aggregate showed higher levels <strong>of</strong> scal<strong>in</strong>g. The<br />

<strong>in</strong>teractions between scal<strong>in</strong>g and aggregate type appear to be complex and further<br />

<strong>in</strong>vestigation would be needed to determ<strong>in</strong>e the precise causal mechanisms.<br />
