Abstract

The paper deals with an experimental investigation of micromechanical properties by means of nanoindentation. The effect of the exposure to high temperatures is studied. Elastic properties of o Portland cement paste samples are measured at room and at elevated temperatures up to 800 C. Microproperties are evaluated mainly for CSH constituents of hydrated cement that occupy the majority of the volume.
