Popis: Tests on the expansion of mortars in sulphate solutions indicate that the conversion of calcium hydroxide to gypsum is a contributory factor. The increased resistance to attack obtained by curing in steam under pressure appears primarily to be due to the suppression of this reaction and to the decreased permeability of the mortar.
