Viscoelastic nature of calcium silicate hydrate
Abstract
The origin of the time-dependent response of cement-based materials to applied stress has not been clearly resolved. The role of interlayer water in the mechanical behavior of calcium silicate hydrate (C–S–H) is still debated. In order to better understand the pertinent mechanisms, the stress relaxation tests were conducted on thin rectangular beams of compacted synthetic C–S–H powder and hydrated Portland cement subjected to three-point …
