Autogenous deformation is a phenomenon that origins in chemical shrinkage during the cement hydration. The physical mechanism is the consumption of capillary water during the hydration and the refinement of capillary porosity. The microscopic underpressure due to thermo-dynamical equilibrium in a pore exerts the negative pressure on the solid skeleton of the paste. This behavior is simulated by means of FEM, where the microstructure of cement paste is loaded directly by underpressure. Validation shows that creep of the cement paste must be also taken into account when good quantitative prediction is expected. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
