Temperature Effects on Tensile and Compressive Mechanical Behaviors of C-S-H Structure via Atomic Simulation

Figure 2

Construction process of C-S-H model (red ball: oxygen atom; green ball: interlayer calcium atom; blue ball: intralayer calcium; white ball: hydrogen atom; yellow tetrahedral: silicate tetrahedral): (a) remove some SiO2; (b) relax intralayer calcium atoms; (c) relax all the other atoms and the supercell dimensions; (d) adsorb water molecules.
