Rubber concrete (RC) is a new type of concrete that has been rapidly gaining acceptance in recent years. In this paper, the effects of freeze–thaw cycles in chloride salt solution on the spalling amount ( Q s ), relative wave velocity ( V R ) and relative compressive strength ( σ R ) of ordinary con...
