| Summary: | Results of an initial series of four-day creep tests of mortar specimens under constant shear and cycled humidity conditions of 100% to 50% and back, are reported. The tests are conducted in a triaxial torsional testing machine. Tested cylinders are sufficiently small to achieve uniform moisture content in short time, sealed, loaded by torque. Significant differences in creep at different humidity conditions are observed. The results are helpful for the formulation of constitutive relations. |
