SaltCrust

Assess efflorescence and salt damage risk in masonry from pore water chemistry

Construction Tech AIFree

SaltCrust evaluates salt crystallization damage risk in masonry from pore water ion concentration analysis. The tool identifies dominant salt species from Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cl, SO4, NO3, and CO3 ion ratios and predicts crystallization sequence during drying cycles using Pitzer activity coefficient models. Damage severity classification distinguishes subflorescence from efflorescence risk and recommends desalination treatment protocols appropriate to salt type and masonry material.
