The Influence of Pore Structure on the Properties of Cement Paste: Initial Observations about Research-in-progress
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
Initial observations of the influence of pore structure on material properties of cement paste are described. The total porosity is held constant and pore structure is altered by use of a superplasticizer. Corresponding changes in strength and fracture energy are observed. Changes in the cement paste pore structure are evaluated by analysis of images obtained by optical microscopy. The technique is a direct method of measurement that avoids assumptions about pore geometry.
