Abstract[Bearbeiten]
This study deals with the characterization of the pore structure of fresh quarry limestone samples belonging to the Mid-Eocene Mokattam Group, and porosity changes in samples subjected to salt crystallization tests at different temperatures (20, 30 and 40 °C) in a purpose-made simulation chamber based on feeding samples by capillary imbibitions. NaCl with fixed concentration (10%) was used in the different experimental tests. One more experiment was performed using only distilled water to discriminate changes due to salt crystallisation from those resulting just from wetting. In order to characterize the changes of the pore structure, fresh and weathered samples subjected to different temperature regimes tests were investigated by means of Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). These results show the critical role of temperature in controlling the porosity changes after salt crystallisation.
