Abstract: Creep of cementitious materials results from the viscoelastic behavior of the reaction products of cement and water, called hydrates. In the present paper, a single isochoric creep function characterizing well-saturated ...

Abstract: Customary micromechanics models for the poroelasticity, creep, and strength of concrete restrict the domain affected by the hydration reaction to the cement paste volume, considering the latter as a thermodynamically closed ...

Abstract: Emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) either from the firing of clay bricks or from cement production, contributes considerably toward global warming. Conversely, the production of bricks is inevitable since a large number of ...
