Abstract

In this paper an experimental study of Kaiser memory lasting for materials with different grain size and homogeneity grade was carried out. The results show that greater the homogeneity grade lower the memory lasting, for instance, in gypsum samples the stress memory lasts just a few hours, for concrete samples, the duration of Kaiser memory reaches up to 10 days.
