Concrete Pathology Sulphates Expansion Ettringite Thaumasite |
| Résumé : |
In 2006, experiments were conducted on 90 concrete ski lift foundation elements. The concrete was contaminated with sulphates whose content by mass varied between 0.9% and 14%. The concrete was manufactured with type CEM I cement, limestone (calcium carbonate and dolomite) and siliceous aggregates with highly variable proportions of anhydrite. There was a considerable danger that the thaumasite form of sulphate attack would occur in these concretes because of their exposure to low temperatures (T <15°C). Tests were conducted on core samples taken from the structures to provoke the formation of thaumasite (immersion at 5°C) or ettringite (immersion at 20°C). After 900 days of monitoring, some concretes exhibited particularly severe deterioration. Conservation at low temperature led to severe swelling, failure and a marked loss of cohesion in some concretes with a high sulphate content (SO3 > 7% by weight). Development of the disorder is not only related to the total sulphate content. Factors that could not be characterised, such as the distribution and size of the anhydrite particles must also be taken into account. |
