This study combines 2D element mappings which allows a more detailed analysis of
clinker phase composition by using the advantages of both methods. One mapping
is obtained by laser ablation with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
(LA-ICP-MS), providing very good results for minor and trace element concentra-
tions with a low spatial resol...
This study combines 2D element mappings obtained by laser ablation with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) to analyse the chemical composition of cement clinker phases. It is revealed that this approach enables to determine the major and t...

In almost all applications of concrete components, both the transport of substances such as chlorides, sulphates, acids, CO2, etc. through the pore structure into the concrete and the resulting local chemical and physical processes have a negative effect on the lifetime of the structure. Most data are actually obtained from layer-by-layer mechanica...
Due to the high CO2-footprint of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), the search for alternative binders is now in a full swing. Rankinite—which is a hydraulically inactive material and low in calcium, is a real alternative to OPC, as it absorbs the harmful greenhouse gas from the air through carbonation hardening. Nevertheless, the carbonation hardenin...
Reinforcement corrosion is major reason for concrete structures deterioration. Chlorides from external sources such as seawater and de-icing salts penetrate in the concrete and as soon as a critical threshold reaches the reinforcement level corrosion processes start. Therefore, the characterization of the chloride ingress resistance in form of the...
