This experimental study investigated the durability degradation of concrete exposed to freezing and thawing and chloride intrusion. In order to observe the degree of the degradation, 24 MPa, 35 MPa and 60 MPa concretes were used with 4% and 12% calcium chloride solution as freezing water for scaling resistance and freeze - thaw resistance tests. The results show that 24 MPa and 35 MPa concrete had a relatively large decrease in durability due to the freeze-thaw resistance and scaling resistance, but the 60 MPa concrete was not deteriorated significantly. In addition, when the concentration of the solution of calcium chloride was 4%, the degradation of durability was most remarkable. The results of this study suggest when concrete structures such as bridges or roads expose to the environmental conditions, appropriate measures such as increasing the designed standard strength of concrete need to be deliberated and additional studies should be conducted.
