Pore water effects on the structure, bonding, dynamics and mechanical properties of calcium silicate hydrate: a molecular dynamics investigation
Abstract
bonds while disrupting the overall hydrogen bonding network. Consequently, the elevated water content damages the structural framework and increases the interlayer distance, ultimately degrading the overall mechanical performance. As the pore size increases from 0.75 nm to 2.00 nm, the tensile strength and Young's modulus decrease by 17.7% and 5.8%, respectively.
