An Efficient Approach of Predicting the Elastic Property of Hydrating Cement Paste

Although elastic properties of hydrating cement paste are crucial in concrete engineering practice, there only a few widely available models for engineers to predict the behavior paste. Therefore, this paper, we derive an analytical model efficiently (e.g., Young’s modulus) Notably, proposed provides prediction hydration, percolation, and homogenization paste, enabling study early age elasticity evolution A hydration considering mineral composition initial w/c ratio was used, while percolation threshold calculated adopting phenomenological semi-empirical method describing effects solid volume fraction ratio. An efficient mixing rule based on degree connectivity then adopted calculate Moreover, ordinary Portland cement, simplified built using Powers’ model. The obtained modeling results following experimental data other numerical literature.
