The Effect of Temperature on the Structural Build-Up of Cement Pastes
Youssef El Bitouri
Abstract:The structural build-up of cementitious materials is the subject of more and more attention since it conditions several processes such as formwork pressure and multi-layer casting. However, this phenomenon originating from flocculation and chemical changes is complex and its reversibility is not clearly elucidated. The aim of this paper is to examine the effect of temperature on the reversibility of structural build-up. The results show that irreversible structural build-up remains negligible despite a rise in… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
