Salt crystallization damage: how realistic are existing ageing tests?

B.A. Lubelli R.P.J. van Hees T.G. Nijland

Salt crystallization is a major cause of damage in porous building materials. Notwithstanding the extensive research in this field, the complexity of the problem has hindered the use of mathematical models for forecasting ageing and damage due to salt crystallization. Nowadays, the durability of materials with respect to salt crystallization is mostly determined by accelerated ageing tests, carried out in laboratory following different test procedures. An effective ageing test should simulate in laboratory, in a reliable way and within a relatively short period of time, the behaviour in practice. The question is whether existing test procedures are able to do so. This paper reports a critical overview of existing procedures and suggests directions for further research.

From concrete repair to concrete conservation: How to preserve the heritage values of historic concrete

CRC Press eBooks (2011)

T.G. Nijland R.P.J. van Hees H.A. Heinemann Hielkje Zijlstra

The aims of concrete repair can be summarized as to maintain the function of a concrete structure for a specific, often limited, period. Criteria for choosing a repair strategy are the function of the1 INTRODUCTIONWith the reviewing of our 20th century built heritage, a continuously increasing number of historic concrete buildings are being listed as monuments. These buildings are listed because of their significance to society, which means that the monument should be protected together with its heritage values for future generations. Due to a poor state of conservation, historic concrete buildings may require future intervention.

Historic trass - lime mortars with expansive reactions: Characterization and repair strategies

R.P.J. van Hees T.G. Nijland J.A. Larbi

The characterisation of two ancient mortars in historic bridges, suffering damage due to thaumasite and other swelling compounds is described. Characterisation was part of the analysis of damage occurring to the brick masonry structure. Expansive reactions were found to have taken place, being the cause of the damage to the masonry. In both cases hydraulic mortars were involved: lime mortars with pozzolanic aggregate. One case concerned the mortar of a 18th century canal bridge in Amsterdam, the other the mortar of a 19th century railway bridge. In both cases the strategy to deal with the problem should consist of a combination of reduction of moisture penetration, combined with a mortar meant to be better compatible with the conditions of the masonr y (i.e. the presence of moisture and of sulfate). Generally a trass-lime mortar is considered to be a good choice under the described conditions. Possible explanations for its failure are discussed

Building stones from a muddy delta: Native natural stone from The Netherlands

T.G. Nijland C.W. Dubelaar Hendrik-Jan Tolboom R.P.J. van Hees

Most of the Netherlands a Quaternary delta, local supplies of natural stone suitable for building are rare. These include: Quaternary bog iron ores used in early medieval times (until c. 1200); erratics, deposited in boulder clay during the Saalian ice age in the northern Netherlands and gravel from the river Meuse; Miocene lithified siliceous sands, Nivelstein sandstone, used in 11th-12th century building and again in the early 20th century; and Maastrichtian deposits in the southern part of Limburg province. These provide the major supply of Dutch natural stone: A chalky limestone, mergel, used since Roman times, but in the 16th century also as far north as the central Netherlands. Maastrichtian cherts have been used very locally. Maastrichtian Kunrade limestone was also used locally and, to limited extent, outside the province of Limburg. Finally, Upper Carboniferous sandstones from the Geulle valley were used locally, mainly for farm houses. © 2006 Taylor & Francis Group.

Obernkirchener zandsteen in Nederland en Vlaanderen

T.G. Nijland C.W. Dubelaar Michiel Dusar

De Obernkirchener zandsteen, in oude bouwrekeningen vaak als Bremer steen aangeduid, is afkomstig van de Buckeberge tussen Minden (Westfalen) en Hannover. De zandsteen is afgezet in het Onder-Krijt (Berriasiaan) en leent zich goed voor fijn geprofileerd werk. De steen wordt sinds de 11e eeuw gebruikt in de eigen regio. Getransporteerd over de Weser en via Bremen vindt de Obernkirchener sinds eind 15e eeuw zijn toepassing in Nederland en in mindere mate Vlaanderen. De stad Antwerpen kent verschillende voorbeelden. Dit artikel geeft na een kort overzicht van de geologische herkomst en eigenschappen een overzicht van het historisch gebruik als bouwsteen in Nederland en Vlaanderen.

Evaluation of the effects of expected climate change on the durability of building materials with suggestions for adaptation

T.G. Nijland O.C.G. Adan R.P.J. van Hees B.D. van Etten

Regardless causes of climate change, changing climate parameters, such as higher temperature, amount and intensity of precipitation, different wind regime, will affect the durability of materials used in the building envelope, either individually or combined. The current paper evaluates possible trends and tendencies arising from these changing climate parameters on the durability of building materials in the Netherlands, based upon four scenario’s of climate change developed by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, KNMI (2006).
