On the global hydration kinetics of tricalcium silicate cement
Frank Tzschichholz, Helene Zanni
We reconsider a number of measurements for the overall hydration kinetics of tricalcium silicate pastes having an initial water to cement weight ratio close to 0.5. We find that th…
A reaction-diffusion model for the hydration/setting of cement
F. Tzschichholz, H. J. Herrmann, H. Zanni
We propose a heterogeneous reaction-diffusion model for the hydration and setting of cement. The model is based on diffusional ion transport and on cement specific chemical dissolu…
FRACTURING OF BRITTLE HOMOGENEOUS SOLIDS. FINITE SIZE SCALINGS
Frank Tzschichholz
Using a two dimensional lattice model we investigate the crack growth under the influence of remote tensile forces as well as due to an internally applied pressure (hydraulic fract…
Simulations of Pressure Fluctuations and Acoustic Emission in Hydraulic Fracturing
F. Tzschichholz, H. J. Herrmann
We consider a two dimensional lattice model to describe the opening of a crack in hydraulic fracturing. In particular we consider that the material only breaks under tension and th…
