Abstract

The properties of Cement-Concrete Compositions (CCC) are in constant change during a hardening process. At initial stages of hardening, the CCC structure is characterized by viscous-plastic properties, while in final hardened structure, an artificial stone, elastic properties dominate. Technological parameters determined by those properties (W/C-ratio, slump, setting times, strength, etc.) mostly are incompatible with each other. This significantly complicates practical implementation of technological monitoring of CCC hardening and strengthening.
