Micromechanical modeling of sulphate corrosion in concrete: Influence of ettringite forming reaction

Two micromechanical models are developed to simulate the expansion of cementitious composites exposed to external sulphate attack. The difference between the two models lies in the form of chemical reaction of the ettringite formation (through-solution vs. topochemical). In both models the Fick'...
