Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references
The book highlights and analyses the distress to buildings caused by sulphate-induced
heave, with particular reference to the recent problems in the Dublin area of Ireland.
It describes the formation of pyrite, the processes involved in its oxidation and
the various ways in which consequential expansion takes place. For the first time
in the literature it discusses the way that buildings can be raised above their supporting
foundation walls by the expansion of pyritiferous fill which has been used beneath
ground-bearing floor slabs in Ireland. The significance of fractures through the iron
sulphide microcrystals for the rate and extent of oxidation is discussed. Photographs
and profiles of sulphate ingress into concrete/concrete blocks are presented. Case
histories from the UK, North America and Ireland are discussed
