Abstract
The flexural storage modulus was found to decrease gradually and reversibly with increasing temperature from 30 to 150 °C for cement pastes. Among the admixtures used (latex, methylcellulose and silica fume), silica fume (15% by weight of cement) gave the highest flexural storage modulus at all temperatures (30–150 °C), but also the greatest fractional decrease in modulus upon heating. Methylcellulose (0.4% by weight of cement) gave higher modulus than latex (20–30% by weight of cement). The modulus increased with increasing latex cement ratio. Cement paste without admixture gave the lowest modulus.
