Presentations:

Aggregate dissolution, Mahsa Bagheri

Dissolution experiments and pore solution analysis provide insight on the effect of different ions on SiO₂ dissolution.

Initially formed products, Solène Barbotin

Using a combination of focus ion beam and transmission electron microscopy the composition and structure of the initially formed ASR products are analyzed with a resolution down to the sub-micrometer range.

Atomic structure of ASR products, Guoqing Geng and Francesco Marafatto

The atomic structure of naturally formed and synthesized ASR products are identified by using spectroscopic techniques at synchrotrons.

Synthetic ASR products, Zhenguo Shi

The synthesis of amorphous and crystalline ASR products shows the effect of temperature on their structure and provides the base for a comparison with naturally formed products.

ASR products and cracking: a 4D view, Mahdieh Shakoorioskooie

The formation of ASR products and crack propagation are followed by high-resolution X-ray micro-tomography providing a 4D-view of the reaction.

Numerical modelling of mechanics, Emil Gallyamov

The numerical modelling of mechanics is based on realistic microstructure provided by 3D-analysis of crack formation.
