Mortars with crystalline additive in aggressive environments
Abstract
The paper describes how a crystalline additive influences the properties of cementbased
composites. The investigation was focused on the degradation of mortars with crystalline
additive exposed to selected aggressive environments. The specimens were tested for
compressive and flexural strength. The influence on the microstructure is also discussed (high
pressure mercury intrusion porosimetry, SEM, DTA). The results confirmed the positive
influence of a crystalline additive on the values of compressive strength after exposure to all
aggressive environments.
