Resumen: | The microstructural effects of exposure to a 15% magnesium sulphate, 15% sodium sulphate, and mixed solutions were observed in mortars with and without silica fume, using the non-destructive impedance spectroscopy technique. The non-destructive “Wenner” resistivity test and the classical mercury intrusion porosimetry were used as contrast techniques. The compressive strength of the mortars was also studied. In view of the results obtained, impedance spectroscopy was the most sensitive technique for detecting changes in the porous network of the studied mortars. The addition of silica fume results in a more refined microstructure and a higher compressive strength in mortars exposed to aggressive sulphate solutions. |
