NaCl damage mechanism
Sodium chloride does not reach high super-saturation
• “However, as it is not possible to obtain higher supersaturation than m/m0=2.2 of NaCl in levitated droplets, the occurrence of even higher supersaturation in pore solution is unlikely” [Steiger M., J. Cryst. Growth, 282,(3-4) 2005]
• “During this experiments with NaCl no supersaturation is found…” [Pel L. et al., Applied Physics letters, 81 (15) 2002]
In spite of this…
The NaCl damage mechanism is not fully understood.
therefore it can hardly develop high crystallization pressures.

Conclusions
NaCl modifies the hygric dilation behaviour of a material.
Damage may result from the differential dilation between zones having different salt loads
A damage mechanism based on the mechanical interaction between salt and pore wall is proposed.
NaCl crystallizing as a layer on the pore walls causes irreversible dilation and damage during crystallization.
No dilation and no damage is observed when the same salt crystallizes without adhering to the pore wall.
