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.
