Apparent Activation Energy and Strengthening During Hardening of Cement-Concrete Compositions

David Stackelberg, Boris Wilge, Shimon Boiko

Abstract

Notion of “activation energy of structure formation” of the cement-concrete compositions has been introduced and substantiated. Methods of its definition have been developed based upon the results of direct electrical resistivity’s measurements in the process of concrete hardening.
