English term or phrase: Test of Frost resistance and resistance to tunnel washing
It is about concrete resistance to those 2 separate things :
- Frost

When washing you may have to include erosion due to chemicals. Some of the acids they use can deteriorate and erode concrete, especially if the concrete becomes porous.
