Effects of temperature on autogenous deformation and early-age stress evolution in cement pastes with low water to cement ratio

This paper investigates the influence of temperature on autogenous deformation and early-age stress (EAS) evolution in ordinary Portland cement paste using a recently developed Mini Temperature Stress Testing Machine (Mini-TSTM) and Mini Autogenous Deformation Testing Machine (Mini-ADTM). In the Mini-TSTM/ ADTM, CEM I 42.5 N paste with a...

Temperature and moisture effects on electrical resistance and strain sensitivity of smart concrete

Cement composites, with enhanced electrical properties, have been investigated as multifunctional composites, with application as strain sensors, heating elements or anode in different electrochemical technique. In this work, several aspects regarding the practical application of smart concrete with the addition of brass fibers have been...
