Abstract (EN):
This study aimed to characterize the products of deterioration of concrete by petrographic
methods. Samples from seven concrete structures as well as three samples produced in laboratory tests
were studied. The external evidence of deterioration of the structures were confirmed by petrographic
microscope and analysis by scanning electron microscope / spectrometer energy dispersion lead to the
identification of alkali-silica gel, trona, ettringite, gypsum and thaumasite as reaction products
