Non-linear drying diffusion and viscoelastic drying shrinkage modeling in hardened cement pastes /

The present research seeks to study the decrease in diffusivity rate as relative humidity (RH) decreases and modeling drying shrinkage of hardened cement paste as a poroviscoelastic respose. Thin cement paste strips of 0.4 and 0.5 w/c at age 3 and 7 days were measured for mass loss and shrinkage at...
