Microstructural investigation of natural deterioration of building materials in Gothenburg, Sweden
Abstract Site investigations of several concrete and masonry structures in Gothenburg, Sweden, revealed carbonation to have affected a number of concrete structures. At times, synergistic freeze-thaw action was found to have accelerated the deterioration process. Some of the masonry structures have developed internal and external efflorescence (the latter much more severe) in the form of alkali sulphate salts. The mechanisms involved in these processes and the influence of microclimatic conditions are discussed. The products formed that were mainly investigated by microstructural techniques (SEM with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis) are also described.
