Residual porosity after impregnation of concrete with linseed oil/mineral spirits mixtures
AbstractPore characteristics of concrete impregnated with boiled linseed oil were investigated using a mercury porosimeter. Prior to impregnations, specimens were dried either in a forced-air oven or with a gas-fired infrared heater. For impregnation, boiled linseed oil was mixed with various amounts of mineral spirits by weight. As the percentage of mineral spirits increased, the total specimen porosity increased, but the total porosity was still lower than that of the unimpregnated controls. Pore size distrubution shifted with impregnation and varied with the percentage of mineral spirits used. Regression analysis revealed relationships between the total intrusion, percent reduction in porosity, and total porosity versus percent boiled linseed oil by weight.
