Effect of controlled environmental conditions on mechanical, microstructural and durability properties of cement mortar

Environmental conditions, such as temperature and relative humidity, impact the rate of evaporation, mechanical properties and durability of concrete. Thus, they have a direct effect on the development of transport properties. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of controlled environmental conditions on moisture retention, dielectric constant (DC), compressive strength, shrinkage, water sorptivity index, rapid chloride...
