Abstract Sulfate attack and the accompanying crystallization of fibrous ettringite (Ca 6 Al 2 (OH) 12 (SO 4 ) 3 26H 2 O) causes cracking and loss of strength in concrete structures. We are using hard synchrotron X-ray microdiffraction to quantify the orientation distribution of ettringite crystals. Diffraction images are analyzed with the Rietveld method to obtain information on textures. The analysis reveals that c-axes of the trigonal minerals are preferentially oriented perpendicular to the fracture surfaces. By averaging single crystal elastic properties over the orientation distribution we can estimate the elastic anisotropy of ettringite aggregates. 1. Introduction Preferred orientation has considerable influence on the properties of a wide range of materials. Microtextures have been traditionally measured with backscatter electron diffraction (e.g. Dingley, 2004) but this technique fails if crystallites are strained and contain large numbers of defects. In this case a focused X-ray beam can be employed as it is available at synchrotron sources. Early applications of synchrotron X-rays for texture analysis has been to thin films (Player et al. 1992), plated alloys (Backstrom et al. 1996) and bone (Heidelbach et al. 1999). Since then the technique has greatly improved, especially by analyzing 2D images with the Rietveld method (Lonardelli et al. 2005). Here we apply the technique to a different material: microscopic veins in deteriorating concrete that are filled with the mineral ettringite. Concrete may be subject to sulfate attack that can cause expansion in the matrix of concrete and lead to loss of strength and stiffness because of lack of cohesiveness in the cement hydration products. The source of sulfate ions can be external or internal. For the external sulfate attack, the sulfate in groundwaters can penetrate the porous matrix of concrete and react with hydration products leading to expansion and cracking of the matrix. There is a consensus that the expansion in concrete is caused by the crystallization of ettringite Ca 6 Al 2 (OH) 12 (SO 4 ) 3 26H 2 O formed from the monosulfate hydrate Ca 4 Al 2 (OH) 12 (SO 4 ) 6H 2 O which is present in the cement paste (e.g. Mehta and Monteiro, 2006). Other phases, such as Ca 4 Al 2 O 26 H 38 , Ca 3 Al 2 O 6 , and Ca 4 Al 2 Fe 2 O 10 can also be sources of the aluminate ions in the formation of ettringite. The reaction to generate ettringite from monosulfate, starts with the dissolution of the former, according to:" @default.
