The effect of delayed ettringite formation on fine grained aerated concrete mechanical properties
Delayed ettringite formation (DEF) is a chemical reaction with proven damaging effects on the mechanical properties of hydrated cementitious composite (concrete). Ettringite crystals can cause cracks and the widening of cracks due to pressure on the crack walls caused by the positive volume differen...
