AB  - This study examines the influence of the water to cement ratio (w/c) on the critical degree of saturation (DOSCR) of cement paste samples using length change measurements. Length change was measured using thermomechanical analysis (TMA) for cement paste samples with different degrees of saturation (DOS), ranging from 100% DOS to 0% DOS. The damage induced by a freezing and thawing cycle (FT cycle) was deduced from length change measurements. The results obtained from length change measurements were correlated with the amount of freezable water obtained from low-temperature differential scanning calorimeter (LT-DSC) tests. It was observed that samples with a DOS…
