This research aims to explore the origins of strains in cement pastes and their impact on viscoelastic properties.
Tested different chemically inert mineral suspensions with varying granular properties.
Investigated the effects of solid volume fraction and time on strains in cement pastes.
Analyzed the relationship between critical strain and nucleation of hydrates.
All tested suspensions displayed a similar critical strain across time.
Critical strain remains constant and is not solely linked to nucleation of hydrates.
Increase in hydration products leads to enhanced particle contact and network rigidification.
