Abstract text:
The properties of concrete for civil engineering structures are directly connected to the binder properties, therefore the current developments tend to increase the concrete strength, also having in mind the decrease of energy consumption and the use of industrial waste in binder production. In Europe and as well worldwide the binders testing will have to be standardized enabling to characterize and use binders in all producing countries. The paper presents an update critical review on the experimental methodology aiming to evaluate the mechanical properties of mineral matrix according to the existing standards.
Key Words:
mineral matrix; testing methodology; elastic modulus; tensile and compressive strength.
