Abstract
Elastic properties and strength of mortars are influenced by the metakaolin additions in an opposite trend. It indicates that they are sensitive to different microstructural features/mechanisms. Continuum micromechanic-based model is capable to accurately predict the performance evolution based on the volume of hydrates predicted by the thermodynamic modelling. An additional step required for the accurate prediction - porosity is partitioned based on its saturation at 95% RH - is introduced and substantiated.
