Abstract

In this paper, the fired clay brick under sodium sulphate and chloride salt attack were investigated. Chemical changes that occur in specimen at the microstructure level due to environmental effects are identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis at the age of 180 days. For the durability of specimens under sodium chloride and sulphate attack, 5, 10, and 15% solutions were used. The results show that the formation of halite and thenardite can strongly affect the performance of specimens. However, the combination of sodium sulphate-chloride produced a double compound in the specimens.
