Creep of a C-S-H gel: a micromechanical approach
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2010 Both clays and calcium silicate hydrates(the main hydration products of Portland cements) exhibit a microstructure made up of lamellar particles. The microscopic mechanism responsible for the macroscopic creep of such materials is often described as the ...
