• Effect of leaching on the composition of hydration phases during chloride exposure of mortar 

      Machner, Alisa; Bjørndal, Marie Helene; Justnes, Harald; Hanžič, Lucija; Šajna, Aljoša; Gu, Yushan; Benoît, Bary; Ben Haha, Mohsen; Geiker, Mette Rica; De Weerdt, Klaartje (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Mortar specimens were exposed to either a 3% NaCl solution or a 3% NaCl+KOH solution for up to 180 days. Exposure to the NaCl solution provoked much more leaching than the NaCl+KOH exposure. Leaching strongly impacted the ...
    • Experimental carbonation study for a durability assessment of novel cementitious materials 

      Hanžič, Lucija; Robič, Sebastijan; Machner, Alisa; Bjørndal, Marie Helene; De Weerdt, Klaartje; Gu, Yushan; Bary, Benoît; Carreras, Rosa Maria Lample; Šajna, Aljoša (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Durability predictions of concrete structures are derived from experience-based requirements and descriptive exposure classes. To support durability predictions, a numerical model related to the carbonation resistance of ...
    • Multi-scale strategy to estimate the mechanical and diffusive properties of cementitious materials prepared with CEM II/C-M 

      Gu, Yushan; Bary, Benoît; Machner, Alisa; De Weerdt, Klaartje; Bolte, Gerd; Ben Haha, Mohsen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      A procedure to estimate the mechanical and diffusive properties of cement pastes, mortars and concretes made with a novel CEM II/C-M (S-LL) binder that has been developed within the European EnDurCrete project, is presented ...
