The use of superplasticizers (SP) is widespread in today's concrete production. Usually, SP are used when specific demands in regard to workability, strength or durability have to be met. As they contain sodium sulphate, they have the potential to increase the alkalinity in the pore solution and the

Portland blast-furnace slag cement pastes were prepared with various water/cement ratios. Specific surface areas and pore structures of the hardened pastes were investigated by nitrogen adsorption. The "accessibility" of the nitrogen molecules to the pore structure is discussed in terms of degree of
