In County Donegal, northwest Ireland, thousands of homes built with concrete blocks show an increasing degree of severe structural defects attributed to high mica content in the aggregates. Consequently, the problem is popularly known as the “Mica Crisis”. In this project the concrete blocks of four affected homes are investigated by microstructural and chemical analysis combined with thermodynamic modelling.

Apart from mica, the aggregates contain iron sulphides mainly in the form of pyrrhotite. The sulfur content of the aggregates considerably exceeds the limit value defined by the European standard for concrete aggregates (EN 12620). The results of the microstructural analysis coupled with thermodynamic modelling demonstrate that the concrete suffers from internal sulfate attack triggered by pyrrhotite oxidation.

So, those blocks basically rusted apart? That's mad.

Except for when you've got a wood frame house on top of a foundation full of pyrrhotite. Tons were constructed in eastern CT and MA over a period of more than 30 years, with damage not showing up for upwards of 20 or 30 years. The only way to fix them is to lift the entire house off the foundation, pour a new one, then put the whole thing back into place, which often constitutes a cost greater than the value of the home. It's pretty neat to see this construction process in action, but I wouldn't want to have to go through it myself, plus it made purchasing a home last year a really wild ride.
