A combined study of expansive and tensile strength evolution of mortars under sulfate attack: implications on durability assessment

In this paper, we present a combined study of the length-change and tensile strength evolution of highand low-C3A Portland cements. This approach has proven useful to provide an assessment on the performance under severe and moderate sulfate attack. While higher expansion rates are observed in high-...
