An experimental investigation on the erosion resistance of concrete containing various PET particles percentages against sulfuric acid attack (2015, background): “While the erosion continues, cracked surface is become soft and white and the corroded concrete loses its mechanical strength that contributes to more cracking, spalling and finally leads to completely destruction [24–28].”
Sulfate and acid resistance of lithomarge-based geopolymer mortars (2018, background): “For all PCMs, expansion occurred in two stages, where ‘induction’ period characterized by low expansion value was followed by steady increase in expansion [80].”
Cemdata18: A chemical thermodynamic database for hydrated Portland cements and alkali-activated materials (2019, background): “The formation of magnesium silicates hydrate (M-S-H) has been observed at the interfacial zone of 834 cement paste with clays [67, 108, 109] and/or as secondary products from the degradation of cement 835 pastes by groundwater or seawater [110-112].”
Chemo-mechanical modelling of the external sulfate attack in concrete (2017, background): “Microscopic observations on mortar samples subject to a combination of leaching and ettringite formation, [22], show that three distinct”
