摘要
Concrete surfaces were studied by two spectroscopic techniques, FT-IR (in ATR mode) and Raman, to establish a nondestructive method to analyze the distribution of hydrated and organic phases. The surface composition of ordinary clinker, polished concrete, concrete after demoulding, and coated concrete as used in building construction was studied. The clinker's mineral phases and the polished concrete were first analyzed by Raman spectroscopy to determine a spectrum database of the specific phases located on the surface of the concrete. Then, both spectroscopic techniques were used to analyze, directly, the surface of hardened concrete after demoulding. No impact of roughness or porosity was highlighted using Raman spectroscopy; many cementitious, or hydrated phases (alite, belite, tricalcium aluminate, ferrite, portlandite and ettringite) were clearly identified. FT-IR in ATR mode only identified some hydrated phases: portlandite and CaO-SiO2-H2O (C-S-H), but organic residues from the demoulding oil were characterized by this technique. Furthermore, the convenience of using these techniques together was tested by analyzing the composition of concrete surfaces coated by different organic post-treatments. FT-IR spectroscopy was useful to identify the main organic groups at the concrete surface, whereas Raman spectroscopy was especially able to characterize the mineral/hydrated phases under a thick post-treatment layer (constituted of polyester varnish). Due to their own specificities, these complementary techniques should be used together to easily identify all the mineral phases and organic residues/coatings on concrete surfaces.
