Abstract

The effect of ice formation on the elastic moduli of cement paste and mortar is analyzed using a modified direct method which is based on both micromechanical and classical elasticity theory. Experimental studies were conducted on saturated and frozen cement paste and mortar specimens. The experimental data showed a good agreement with the predictions of the modified direct method.
