The slump problem of cellular concrete block (thermostone)‎

الملخص EN

The research treats the problem of slump(as a type of creep) under self weight, that thermostone suffers during manufacturing process because the large dimensions and viscoelastic properties that the material has.

Chemical composition and the percentage of added elements, especially the Gypsum and their effect on slump problem are studied using a practical method.

The viscoelastic solution is applied here by Finite Element Method using the suitable model and taking with care the phenomena of aging.

The viscoelastic solution is compared with the practical results for several stages of adding Gypsum.
