Research Brief: Evolving the C-S-H Packing Density at the Microscale
(2017-10-02)Cement paste is a complex multiphase material, roughly 50 percent of which, by volume, is composed of calcium-silicate-hydrates (C-S-H). The C-S-H phase, which lends the material its rigidity, appears to be a dispersion ... -
Research Brief: Examining Freeze-Thaw Damage at the Microscopic Scale
(2017-01-12)Researchers conducted both theoretical and numerical studies on the microscopic phenomena in cement paste pores to reveal the important roles that ions and electrolytes play in freeze-thaw damage. -
Towards Understanding Cement Paste Creep: Implications from Glass Studies
(MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub, 2017-01-04)This research brief presents foundational work toward understanding the mechanics of the complex process of creep by evaluating the phenomena occurring at the nano-scale in metallic glass, a model material, to better ...
