Characterization and Modeling of Moisture Flow through Hydrating Cement-Based Materials under Early-Age Drying and Shrinkage Conditions
abstract: Early-age cracks in fresh concrete occur mainly due to high rate of surface evaporation and restraint offered by the contracting solid phase. Available test methods that simulate severe drying conditions, however, were not originally designed to focus on evaporation and transport character...
