Citations in the corpus

• Current knowledge of external sulfate attack (2015, background): “A particularly pernicious salt is sodium sulfate (Flatt, 2002; Rodriguez-Navarro et al., 2000; Tsui et al., 2003).”
• Experimental testing of the durability of lime-based mortars used for rendering historic buildings (2012, background): “This is because the precipitation of mirabilite from the supersaturated solution, produced at room temperature by the dissolution of thenardite, creates a crystallization pressure [15,51] high enough to break the original pores and generate others with bigger radius.”
• Weathering and Deterioration (2011, result): “The crystallization pressure calculations also confirm the strong influence of temperature in the sodium sulfate crystallization test as observed by several investigators (Price 1978, Chatterji and Jensen 1989, Tsui et al. 2003).”
