Influence of the Ambient Relative Humidity on the Very-Long-Term DEF
Relative humidity is a key parameter for the development of delayed ettringite formation (DEF). Here, new results of very-long-term experiments (10 years) are presented. It is observed that for a relative humidity of 96%, swelling could occur after several years but with a slower kinetics. A model c...
