Early-age autogenous cracking of cementbased systems: from physico-chemical analysis to micro/macro investigations

High-performance cement-based materials, characterized by a low water-tocement (W/C) ratio and a high cement content, are particularly sensitive to early-age cracking because the magnitude and the rate of autogenous shrinkage they develop during this period, are particularly high. This article pr...
