Abstract
A survey of the capillary pore size distribution in hydrated tricalcium silicate pastes was made using mercury intrusion porosimetry. The results are interpreted in terms of microstructural features revealed by scanning electron microscopy, and also compared with earlier studies on cement pastes. Certain soluble calcium salts which influence the kinetics of the hydration of tricalcium silicate alter the morphology of the hydration products. This morphological change can be correlated with a change in pore size distribution observed with mercury porosimetry.
