Experimental testing of the durability of lime-based mortars used for rendering historic buildings (2012, background): “Even if limited by the size and the pore entrance [16], the maximum crystallization pressure of this salt is still able to overcome the physical constraint of the pore wall (defined by the tensile strength of the material) [15], so that bigger pores of similar size to the mirabilite crystals are gen”
Weathering and Deterioration (2011, methodology): “In order that phase equilibria can be predicted a model approach is more appropriate (Price 2000, Steiger 2005c).”
Challenges and opportunities in corrosion of steel in concrete (2018, background): “Indeed, it is well known that precipitates will only exert expansive stresses if they are forced to grow under conﬁned conditions, such as against pore walls [90–94].”
