Title: Microstructurally based mechanisms for modeling shrinkage of cement paste at multiple levels

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10191637

Shrinkage of cement paste is controlled by a number of mechanisms that operate in various parts of the microstructure and at various length scales. A model for creep and shrinkage can be developed by combining several models that describe phenomena at each of several length scales, ranging from the nanometer to the meter. This model is described and preliminary results are discussed.
