Formation of shrinkage cracks in thin specimens of cement paste
AbstractWhilst being dried a cement paste is simultaneously subjected to periopherical tensile and radial compressive stresses. This combination may lead to relaxation or cracking. It is a general belief that these macroscopic stresses can be ignored if one uses thin specimens. Fluorescence microscopy of 1.5 mm thick paste specimens show that shrinkage cracking occurs even in these specimens. Attention has been drawn to the implications of the above observation.
