Dissolution kinetics of C-S-H gel and durability of mortar
Ana Trapote Barreira
Abstract:The use of concrete in disposal facilities to store low- and intermediate-level nuclear waste requires that the durability of this material is optimal for the lifetime of these repositories. One of the most important processes that put such durability at risk is the attack of concrete by water with low mineral content and neutral pH, altering its microstructure (decalcification, dissolution of cement phases, increased porosity and loss of barrier properties ). Therefore, to yield reliable estimations of the du… Show more
