Knowledge of the mechanical properties, i.e. strength, stiffness and deformation capacity, of cementitious materials at any arbitrary time is fundamental for operations such as removal of formwork, prestressing or cracking control. This paper presents a st ...
During the past decade, the science of concrete behavior has made much progress and many useful results are now incorporated in technical codes such as those governing mix design, quality of mix and post pouring verification. The stage of Very Early Age (V ...
Knowledge of the compressive strength evolution of concrete is critical for activities such as stripping formwork, construction scheduling and pre-stressing operations. Although there are several procedures for predicting concrete compressive strength, rel ...
