Durability and mechanical properties of C–S–H/nitrobenzoic acid composite systems

The influence of nitrobenzoic acid on the nanostructure of calcium-silicate-hydrate (C–S–H) systems has been recently investigated by the authors. This study focuses on the assessment of durability and mechanical performance of the C–S–H/nitrobenzoic acid composite systems. In this context different nitrobenzoic acid isomers in various concentrations were studied. The C–S–H-based preparations were compacted into porous bodies. Their dimensional …
