Steam Curing and DEF Primary ettringite forms during early hydration Normal concrete curing temperatures 30 - 40° C Steam curing at pre-cast plant 80 – 90° C Hypothesis Ettringite decomposes ~ 70°C In the field ambient moisture causes ettringite to reform → DEF

Sample Preparation Two batches of concrete from same mix Control Potassium added, 1.2% as K2CO3 Cast as prisms 3” x 3” x 11” Two curing conditions Room temperature Steam cured J. Newman, FHWA SBIR, 2011

Conclusions Neutron imaging can identify concrete hydrous phases Neutron tomography can capture 3-D spatial relationships among phases at 20 μm resolution Exhaustive volumetric sampling enables highly precise materials characterization Nondestructive nature makes it possible to observe reactions among phases over time Limitations include scarce beam time at neutron facilities
