Salt crystallization in porous construction materials I Estimation of crystallization pressure
The crystallization process of soluble salts inside the natural and artificial porous materials partially immersed in different saline solutions has been studied, This procedure is used to simulate the conditions of exposure to salt weathering in which foundations and lower walls of building structures are within the zone of capillary rise of saline
متن کاملFracture of Porous Materials Induced by Crystallization of Salt
The penetration of salt into porous materials is known to have deleterious effects, often resulting in fracture. The damage process begins with a saline solution penetrating the porous network by way of capillary action. This is followed by supersaturation of the saline solution, which may result in the formation of salt crystals. In turn, these salt crystals induce pressure on the pore walls. ...
متن کاملDamage in porous media due to salt crystallization.
We investigate the origins of salt damage in sandstones for the two most common salts: sodium chloride and sulfate. The results show that the observed difference in damage between the two salts is directly related to the kinetics of crystallization and the interfacial properties of the salt solutions and crystals with respect to the stone. We show that, for sodium sulfate, the existence of hydr...
متن کاملDiscrete salt crystallization at the surface of a porous medium.
Efflorescence refers to crystallized salt structures that form at the surface of a porous medium. The challenge is to understand why these structures do not form everywhere at the surface of the porous medium but at some specific locations and why there exists an exclusion distance around an efflorescence where no new efflorescence forms. These are explained from a visualization experiment, por...
متن کاملContinuous crystallization in hexagonally ordered materials.
We demonstrate that the phase transition from columnar-hexagonal liquid crystal to hexagonal-crystalline solid falls into an unusual universality class, which in three dimensions allows for both discontinuous transitions as well as continuous transitions, characterized by a single set of exponents. We show by a renormalization group calculation (to first order in =4-d) that the critical exponen...
