title = "Mechanism of secondary ettringite formation in mortars and concretes subjected to heat treatment",
abstract = "In the last years, precast units made of high strength concrete, and having been heat treated during production, have shown partly damaged structure related to loss of strength. This damage always occurred in those building components which, for several years, had been subjected to open-air weathering (e.g., front panels and sleepers). The damage has often been characterized by crack formation emerging from the edges of the building components, as well as by a loss of bond between the cement paste and the coarse aggregate. In order to clarify this damage, a series of parameters have been examined as to their influence on the durability of heat treated concretes. Beside others, the investigation concentrated on the following subjects: the threshold temperature of damage, the SO content of the cement, the humidity of storage, and the w/c.",
