Creep of the cement matrix affects the structural stability of concrete. In Portland cements, the creep is largely controlled by the binding phase calcium-(aluminum-)silicate-hydrate, or C-(A-)S-H. This phase has a lamellar structure and under deviatoric stress aligns its c-axis with the principal stress. However, the limiting resistance to this reorientation is unknown at the nanocrystalline level. Small-angle X-ray scattering shows that the lamellae thickness decreases under 100's MPa deviatoric stress. Deviatoric stress Raman spectroscopy shows that there are two ways that this break-up can occur. If the material's silicate chains are cross-linked, then strain in Si–O bonds does not increase above certain stresses, indicating a relaxation adjacent to the Si–O bond. If the chains are not cross-linked, then the silicate chains are broken up by rastering against each other, introducing defects. These results show that the plastic deformation of C-(A-)S-H is relevant for Portland cement creep.
