Preferred orientation of ettringite in concrete fractures

H.-R. Wenk, P. J. M. Monteiro, M. Kunz, K. Chen, N. Tamura, L. Lutterotti and J. Del Arroz

Hard synchrotron X-ray microdiffraction is used to quantify the orientation distribution of ettringite crystals [Ca₆Al₂(OH)₁₂(SO₄)₃·26H₂O], which cause cracking and loss of strength in concrete structures.

Keywords: preferred orientation; ettringite; concrete fractures; elastic anisotropy.
