On the mechanism of creep of cement concrete
Until now, no quite a full understanding of the physical essence of creep deformation of cement concrete. The existing hypotheses, based on the physico-mechanical approach, do not reflect adequately the features of the process, making it difficult justification of choice of technological regimes to increase the ope-rational reliability of structures. Based on the results of studies of the process of hardening cement systems, structure and properties of cement stone (concrete) concluded a significant role in the creep deformation of chemical transformations.
