Abstract
This study investigates the effects of concrete pumping on air content, SAM Number, spacing factor, and freeze–thaw performance. This work focuses on how the air dissolves under pressure and then returns to the concrete at room (20 °C/68°F), cold (8 °C/46°F), and hot (40 °C/104°F) temperatures. The research reveals that concrete pumping leads to a significant reduction in air content, with cold mixtures experiencing higher air loss compared to room temperature and hot mixtures. Despite these changes, freeze–thaw performance remains satisfactory for mixtures with initial air content above 4% and SAM Number below 0.32. The study also observes that the dissolved air bubbles return to the concrete with a similar bubble distribution as was in the original mixture.
