Experimental study of sulfate crystallization damage to glutenite rock in the Maijishan Grottoes

Abstract Salt crystallization is one of the most important factors causing weathering in grottoes. Cumulative crystallization of salts causes damage such as flaking and peeling of the rocks and accelerates the weathering processes of the grottoes. The accumulated crystalline salts cause spalling, sk...
