Abstract

In this paper, the behavior of industrial portland cement clinker under influence of atmosphere conditions was studied. Industrial clinkers are characterized by a complex chemical and mineralogical composition. the samples of the polycomponent materials were inoculated with a number of special biological agents. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction were used in order to detect the first deteriorative study of materials.
