DOI: 10.1016/j.cemconres.2018.04.013
Abstract: Abstract When fresh cementitious materials are exposed to evaporation, drying of the pore fluid leads to capillary pressure development and plastic shrinkage. Plastic shrinkage occurring after the solid percolation threshold plays an important role in… read more here.
