Rock alteration by salt crystallization is known since a long time ago. However, there are still controversies about the induced mechanism. This kind of alteration is considered the most important factor in historical monuments degradation. Currently, we ascribe the degradation to the capacity of salt to develop crystallization pressure. The crystallization pressure could reach several megapascal; exceeding stones mechanical resistance. This crystallization pressure concept arises from experimental studies carried out between the end of XIXth century and the middle of XXth but there are discrepancies between these notions and current theories about crystal growth. The goal of this study is to reproduce Corren and Taber's experiments under c...
