Description :
Micro- and macroscale experiments which document the dynamics of salt damage to porous stone have yielded data which expose weakness in earlier interpretations. Salt damage due to crystallization pressure appears to be largely a function of solution supersaturation ratio and location of crystallization. These key factors are related to solution properties and evaporation rates, which are constrained by solution composition, environmental conditions, substrate properties, and salt crystallisation growth patterns.
