Long term effects of lead contaminated water on the strength and microstructure of concrete by Sedigheh Ghasemi, Peyman Homami, Jafar Keyvani Ghamsari

“…Compressive strength tests were conducted at curing ages ranging from 3 to 730 days, and pollutant retention was assessed using the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure. Microstructural analyses through X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed that lead contamination disrupted cement hydration by forming Pb(OH)2 and Pb-C-S-H phases, which inhibited the nucleation and growth of primary hydration products, notably calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) and portlandite (CH). …”
