Tóm tắt

Production of cement paste cylindrical specimens developed for creep tests at variable humidities and/or temperatures is described. The wall thickness is only 0.75 mm, which is required so that an equilibrium humidity distribution can be achieved in a short time with the result that the material parameters may be obtained directly by experiment.
