Abstract

An optical interference method shows that at early stages of hydration there is a significant increase in size of individual cement grains. The effect of applied hydrostatic pressure on cement pastes is an increase in the degree of hydration. Explanations for these effects are given in terms of the osmotic gel membrane model of hydration.
