Imaging of cation and anion transport in building materials by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
(2007)
The determination of water and salt distribution in brickwork and stonework is a frequent problem in cultural heritage protection. Conventional but reliable methods are usually based on the investigation of core samples and provide only punctual information. To avoid the destruction of valuable building fabric, a non-destructive approach using a combination of investigation methods is needed. A case study, demonstrating the possibilities of almost non-destructive testing methods and their combination is presented in this article.
Sulfate attack constitutes a major risk of chemical aggression for concrete and other building materials. Mainly structures exposed to sewage waters and sulfate rich soils are affected. The measurement of sulfate ingress is important for damage assessment previous to repair works and for quality assurance of the effectiveness of protecting coatings or during concrete removal.
Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy is introduced for the quantitative measurement of sulfur contents in building materials, providing detailed depth profiles and imaging element distributions with 1 mm spatial resolution. Detailed statistical evaluation is possible due to the spatial resolution and the fast measurement of the method. Practical applications of the method for damage assessment are demonstrated for three different sewage plants.
Determination of chloride content in concrete structures with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
(2003)
The Chloride content is an important factor which influences the durability of concrete structures. The standard methods are mostly intricate, time consuming and require a chemical laboratory. This article describes the application of a spectroscopic method, the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), for the determination of Chloride contents in concrete and mortar specimens. LIBS can be used on-site, needs no sample preparation and is able to investigate rapidly a large number of different measuring points. The LIBS set-up and the experimental conditions to detect Chlorides are reported. Calibration curves are presented and the limit of detection (LOD) is determined. Results measured on different concrete cores are presented and compared with the results of standard chemical methods.
