Static and Fatigue Tests on Cementitious Cantilever Beams Using Nanoindenter

Cement paste is the main binding component in concrete and thus its fundamental properties are of great significance for understanding the fracture behaviour as well as the ageing process of concrete. One major aim of this paper is to characterize the micromechanical properties of cement paste with...
