Summary The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of temperature, alkali and cement set on the visco-elastic properties of chip mattresses made in cement and calcium hydroxide, respectively. Two temperatures were used, room temperature and 78°C, believed to represent the limits of the range of temperatures experienced industrially in the manufacture of cement composites. Calcium hydroxide and cement were used to find the effect of alkali and the effect of cement set. The temperature affected the visco-elastic properties by increasing the unrecovered strain, and alkali also increased the unrecoverable strain. The effect of heat and alkali increased when the two were used in combination. In cement chip composites, the effect of cement set was the most dominant that the effect of heat and alkali could not be observed.
