Concrete exposed to freezing and thawing cycles must be air-entrained. Severe exposures require air contents of 6 to 7 percent in freshly mixed concrete made with 3/4-inch 19 mm or 1-inch 25-mm aggregate. In moderate exposures where deicing salts will not be used 4 to 6 percent air will be sufficient. Air-entrained concrete of moderate
