It is well known that the absolute volume of cement plus water decrease with progressive hydration. In this study, chemical shrinkage of cement was calculated from chemical equation of hydration, it was compared with observed one. Definition of chemical shrinkage and autogenous shrinkage was made an

The influence of the presence of concrete admixtures on the hydration reaction of cement pastes has been investigated. Two admixtures acting as (1) an accelerator and (2) a retarder, have been added to the cement pastes in various dosages and then cured at different ages between 1 and 28 days in 100
After having studied phenomena linked to hydration and self-desiccation, one notes that capillary depression is the main origin of the autogenous shrinkage of hardening cement paste. Based on this mechanism, modelling at macroscopic scale is undertaken for a commonly used cement paste (CPA 55) with
In this paper the authors tried to analyze their drying shrinkage data in terms of the Munich model. They have attributed the shrinkage below 40% RH to a change in the surface free energy (socalled Bangham shrinkage) and the shrinkage above 40% RH to the disjoining pressure. As the authors are propo
Whilst being dried a cement paste is simultaneously subjected to peripherical tensile and radial compressive stresses. This combination may lead to relaxation or cracking. It is a general belief that these macroscopic stresses can be ignored if one uses thin specimens. Fluorescence microscopy of 1.5
