Capillary absorption of water and n-decane by autoclaved aerated concrete
(2008)
An autoclaved aerated concrete was one of three construction materials used in the round-robin study of hygral properties carried out in the European Commission funded Heat, Air and Moisture Standards Development [HAMSTAD] ...
Application of the Sharp Front Model to capillary absorption in a vuggy limestone
(2009)
The unusual pore size distribution and in particular the presence of large pores in certain construction materials, results in an anomalous sorptivity and a marked deviation from the standard t1/2 law. In this paper, we ...
Testing the soundness of aggregates using different methodologies
(2013)
This paper compares the European (EN) and US (ASTM) standard tests for the soundness of aggregates. The main purpose of the paper is to identify the differences between these two methods and to investigate the extent of ...
Synchrotron radiation energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction analysis of salt distribution in Lepine limestone
(2005)
We describe an analytical application of synchrotron radiation energy-dispersive diffraction tomography to map the distribution of crystalline sodium sulfate deposited by evaporation from solution within a building limestone.
Water repellent influence on salt crystallisation in masonry
(2017)
This paper assesses the effectiveness and effects of a water repellent (sodium methylsiliconate in aqueous solution) on crystallisation in stone and brick masonry materials. The salt crystallisation method adopted in this ...
