Koleva, D.A. Van Breugel, K. Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Structural Engineering Date 2014-06-08 Abstract This paper investigates DC current-induced “curing” and ageing phenomena in cement-based materials. Two current densities were used in a DC current regime i.e. mortar cubes were subjected to DC current flow of 1 A/m2 and 100 mA/m2; tap water and calcium hydroxide were external environment. Conditioning (“curing”) was performed for 112 days, during which period, compressive strength, porosity and electrical resistivity of the mortar specimens were monitored. Based on the experimental results, DC “curing” in the tap water tends to accelerate degradation processes in the mortar specimens i.e. results in increased ageing. Meanwhile, DC “curing” in calcium hydroxide solution has the potential to accelerate “curing” without negative side effects.
