Evaluation of Colloidal Nanosilica Diffusion for the Recovery of Aged Cementitious Matrices in Hydraulic Structures: Insights from Thermogravimetric Analysis
This study demonstrates that a colloidal nanosilica-based repair product (Elera) effectively restores the calcium silicate hydrate matrix in highly porous aged concrete from hydraulic structures through pozzolanic reactions, though its efficacy is limited in lower-porosity samples, highlighting the need for alternative application methods like injection.
