Abstract
AbstractThe alite used in this investigation was synthesised from the stoichiometric mixture at 1550°C. The hardened alite pastes were made using initial water/alite ratios of 0.20, 0.30, 0.45 and 0.60. Degree of hydration, compressive strength and total porosity were estimated at various hydration time intervals of 0.5 h, 2 h, 6 h, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days and 28 days. A meaningful relation between compressive strength and water/alite ratio was established at constant values of degree of hydration, total porosity and Powers' gel‐space ratio.
