Tóm tắt

Many studies have shown the effect of different parameters on the expansion induced by delayed ettringite formation (DEF), but there is not yet a general agreement on their relative effects due to discrepancies on experimental results generally attributed to different experimental conditions. The aim of this study is to assess the coupling effects between some of the main parameters of this reaction using the experimental design method. The main interactions concern two factors: temperature and duration of heating during curing. Each interaction has been subjected to statistical tests in order to be validated. The resulting empirical models can reflect the experimental fields and therefore provide useful information about the risk of expansion related to␣DEF, knowing the temperature and the duration of curing, the alkali content of the concrete, the aggregate nature and the water to cement ratio.
