Abstract
AbstractThe hardened alite pastes were prepared by using initial water:alite ratios of 0.20, 0.30, 0.45 and 0.60. The microstructures of the low and high porosity pastes were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The results obtained indicated that the cementing system is really a composite material having a structure controlled by the total pore system of the hardened paste. In low porosity pastes, the hydration products are semi‐crystalline; whereas in high porosity pastes, the hydration products possess a massive tabular structure.
