Creep and Strain-Rate Effects in Cement AgingSidney YipMassachusetts <strong>Institute</strong> of Technology,Cambridge, 02139 Massachusetts,USAWe propose to discuss the rheological de<strong>for</strong>mation of cement hydration product C-S-H over time periods where significant structural evolutions are occurring on the nanoto-mesoscales. In analogy to a recent result elucidating the origin of strain-rateeffects on the flow stress in simple metals, we ask whether similar concepts could beapplied to quantify our understanding of creep mechanisms in cementitious materials.32
