Measurement of Volume Changes of High Performance Cement Based Composites

Abstract:

Performed research work is focused on the experimental determination of volume changes of high-performance concrete. Studied topic is an essential problem of all cement based composites because of its influence to mechanical and durability properties due to crack formation. Special high-performance cement based mortars are often used for quick rehabilitation and renovation of current concrete structures where minimal level of total volume changes is required. Interpretation of final results is highly dependent on the way of measuring, as it is documented in the present experimental program.
