Effect of Drying-Rewetting on Elastic Modulus of Portland Cement Paste and Mortar
The effect of drying and rewetting on the dynamic elastic modulus of 0.4 and 0.6 W/C ratio pastes and mortar were investigated. Drying results in a significant reduction in the dynamic elastic modulus due to the moisture stress gradients. The original undried value of the dynamic elastic modulus is...
