Effect of Calcium Nitrate on the Properties of Portland– Limestone Cement‐Based Concrete Cured at Low Temperature
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The effect of calcium nitrate (CN) dosages from 0 to 3% (of cement mass) on the properties of fresh cement paste rheology and hardening processes and on the strength of hardened concrete with two types of limestone-blended ... -
Effect of forced convection on the hygrothermal performance of a wood frame wall with wood fibre insulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Wood-based thermal insulation materials have interesting hygroscopic characteristics because of their high moisture capacity. The present paper investigates the moisture conditions in wood-frame walls with wood fibre thermal ... -
Effect of leaching on the composition of hydration phases during chloride exposure of mortar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Mortar specimens were exposed to either a 3% NaCl solution or a 3% NaCl+KOH solution for up to 180 days. Exposure to the NaCl solution provoked much more leaching than the NaCl+KOH exposure. Leaching strongly impacted the ... -
