In-pore crystallization can lead to expansion of a variety of porous media, including concrete, stone, or soils. For instance, sulfate attacks of cement-based materials can lead to crystallizations of gypsum or ettringite, which may cause damage and limit the durability of concrete structures. A better understanding of how crystallization induces deformation of cementitious materials is a prerequisite to designing efficient ways of mitigating the detrimental effects of salt crystallization. In this thesis, we aim at understanding how crystallization leads to expansion, for cement-based materials in the specific case of the presence of sulfate ions, which is relevant for sulfate attacks. The main originality of the study was to perform exper...
