3D multi-scale structural characterization and long-term performance related to efflorescence Ghent University
The goal of this research is to create a bridge between lime and cement mortars, and study their structure and performance. Mortar mixtures will be characterized, focusing on the efflorescence effect. For the study of the efflorescence, contamination and further accelerated aging of the mortars is done. Physical and chemical characterization is carried out, together with micro-CT for 3D analysis.
