| Summary |
This book provides an in-depth exploration of the behavior and effects of salt in porous media, focusing on the fundamental and applied aspects of geomechanics and geochemistry. It discusses the thermodynamics, kinetics, and pressures associated with salt crystallization within confined environments, and examines the impact of these processes on the stability and mechanical properties of materials. The text includes experimental observations using advanced imaging techniques and models to understand the transport and distribution of ions and salt crystals. Authored by Hannelore Derluyn and Marc Prat, it is intended for researchers and professionals in civil engineering, geotechnics, and related fields, aiming to enhance the understanding of salt-related phenomena in geomaterials.
