Measurement of the Pressure induced by salt crystallization in confinement
Julie Desarnaud, Daniel Bonn, Noushine Shahidzadeh
Salt crystallization is a major cause of weathering of artworks, monuments and rocks. Damage will occur if crystals continue to grow in confinement, i.e. within the pore space of t…
Metastability limit for the nucleation of NaCl crystals in confinement
Julie Desarnaud, Hannelore Derluyn, Jan Carmeliet +2
We study the spontaneous nucleation and growth of sodium chloride crystals induced by controlled evaporation in confined geometries (microcapillaries) spanning several orders of ma…
Damage in porous media due to salt crystallization
Noushine Shahidzadeh-Bonn, Julie Desarnaud, François Bertrand +2
We investigate the origins of salt damage in sandstones for the two most common salts: sodium chloride and sulfate. The results show that the observed difference in damage between…
