On the relation of microstructure development and time- zero as the beginning of autogenous shrinkage

In cementitious composites, the hydration process is the most important feature. The conditions, rate, and general manner of this process affect the properties of composites both at early and later ages. The development and prediction of future properties can be studied using both destructive and non-destructive methods to predict the potential and behaviour at later ages. Due to the early occurrence of autogenous shrinkage and the large influence of chemical shrinkage, the hydration process and the formation of the microstructure play an important role in determining the time zero point for autogenous shrinkage and the overall determination of the shrinkage value.
