ExtEndEd AbstrAct:The durability of building materials can be enhanced by affecting the structure with different types of radiation.In some research papers it is noted that magnetic and microwave radiation intensifies the processes of cement dissolution and hydration at earlier periods, that leads to the formation of fine crystalline structures, decrease in porosity, increase in density, strength, frost resistance and durability in general.The work studied the characteristics of structural changes in cement-sand mortars (CMR) from dry mixtures under the influence of microwave radiation (UHF EMP). The structure of the samples has been investigated with the scanning electron microscope with an energy-dispersive spectrometer, the composition of the samples has been determined by means of X-ray diffractometer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
