Opis

The book is a study of structural and mechanical properties of inorganic materials. The goal is to find the weakest (mechanically) phases and interfaces of material. By affecting these structures it should be possible consequently to produce a material with better mechanical properties. The work is divided in three parts. The first deals with the introduction of the possibilities of modeling micro-mechanical properties and performing of experiments that allow assessment of the scope of some model. In second part it is performed an overview of current possibilities of indentation tests for measuring mechanical properties of structural components of concrete and practical mastery of these methods. In third part the method of identifying the weakest points in structure of inorganic binders is proposed and validation on the particular material examined at our faculty is performed. Partial results are a complete characterization of cementitious materials, specification of existing knowledge and finding the optimal procedure for characterization. The main result is an innovative approach that leads to a positive effect on the material.
