Development of fracture characteristics of cement pastes and causes of microcracking

conference paper

English

This paper deals with interesting development of hardened cement paste fracture during first year. There are very surprising changes in course of fracture in some time intervals. Some causes of the development of the fracture are discussed using roentgen diffraction analysis and differential thermal analysis.
