Abstract

This paper deals with the investigation of crystallization pressure exerted by in-pore confined crystals during a drying-induced crystallization. The dynamic mechanical analyzer is used to measure the deformation of Cordova Cream limestone during the drying-induced crystallization of sodium sulfate (thenardite) at 95 °C. The analysis of the results requires coupling of thermoporoelasticity with heat, moisture, and ion transport, and crystallization kinetics. The computed non-equilibrium crystallization pressure of thenardite and the capillary pressure can be successfully explained by thermodynamics.
