Which consequence result when hydroxide concentration exceeds saturation limits in cement?

💡 Explanation

Etter crystallization causes expansive microcracking because an increased hydroxyl supply encourages the **nucleation and growth of expansive crystals** within the cement matrix. Therefore, microcracking ensues, rather than carbonation which requires CO2, or chloride/sulfate exposure.
