• Application of thermodynamic modelling to hydrated cements (2019, methodology): “Thermodynamic calculations have been utilized to understand how salts crystallizing could generate 766 stresses in pores of natural stones or concrete [181‐183] and to explain that the expansion caused by 767 ettringite formation is related to the crystallisation pressure generated by”
• Current knowledge of external sulfate attack (2015, background): “Crystallisation pressure The more recent theory of crystallisation pressure (Correns, 1949; Flatt, 2002; Flatt and Scherer, 2008; Scherer, 1999, 2004) appears to be a more plausible mechanism behind expansion.”
• Effects of sulfates on the hydration of Portland cement – A review (2021, background): “Delayed ettringite formation causes expansion and cracking, increasing the porosity and permeability, facilitating the entry of aggressive agents as CO 2 and chlorides, and reducing the lifetime of concrete structures [157,162,163].”
