Stress relaxation properties of calcium silicate hydrate:a molecular dynamics study

The time-dependent viscoelastic response of cement-based materials to applied deformation is far from fully understood at the atomic level.Calcium silicate hydrate(C-S-H),the main hydration product of Portland cement,is responsible for the viscoelastic mechanism of cement-based materials.In this study,a molecular model of C-S-H was developed to explain the stress relaxation characteristics of C-S-H at different initial deformation states,Ca/Si ratios,temperatures,and water contents,which cannot be accessed experimentally.The stress relaxation of C-S-H occurs regardless of whether it is subjected to initial shear,tensile,or compressive deformation,and shows a heterogeneous characteristic.Water plays a crucial role in the stress relaxation process.A large Ca/Si ratio and high temperature reduce the cohesion between the calcium-silicate layer and the interlayer region,and the viscosity of the interlayer region,thereby accelerating the stress relaxation of C-S-H.The effect of the hydrogen bond network and the morphology of C-S-H on the evolution of the stress relaxation characteristics of C-S-H at different water contents was elucidated by nonaffine mean squared displacement.Our results shed light on the stress relaxation characteristics of C-S-H from a microscopic perspective,bridging the gap between the microscopic phenomena and the underlying atomic-level mechanisms.
