Dimensional change and elastic behavior of layered silicates and Portland cement paste
Abstract
The role of water in hydrated Portland cement paste (hpc) is germane to understanding the nature of nanostructure – property relationships of the material. The irreversible dimensional changes of hpc and phase pure C–S–H that occur on wetting and drying are dissimilar to those observed for other silicate minerals of interest to cement science. This irreversibility in hpc is also observed for the modulus of elasticity parameter. Length change, …
