β¦ Synopsis
The influence of Sea, ground, Nile and drinking waters on the microstructure of some hydraulic cements is investigated by means of X-ray diffraction analysis. The calcium sulfo-and carboaluminate hydrates form well with a water cement ratio of 2.
Seawater leads to the precipitation of gypsum.
The hydration products of ordinary portland cement (OPC) pastes hydrated for a year with the four water types are similar.
A survey on the analysis of waters used is given.

Blended cement pastes made of Portland cement and fine sand (known in Egypt as El-Karnak cement) were made using a water-cement ratio of 0.25 by weight. Three pastes containing admixture (water-soluble condensates) were also prepared using a water-cement ratio of 0.25 and condensate (superplasticize
Effect of various factors such as mix proportion, water-cement ratio, age and curing conditions on compressive strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity and damping characteristics of plain concrete is given. The results show that relation between compressive strength and dynamic modulus is affected b
Two sets of neat paste samples, prepared with an ordinary Portland cement and a ternary blended cement (containing slag and fly ash), were stored in various corrosive solutions of different pH (11.5 and 13) and chloride concentrations (up to 20 g/1 of Cl').

In studying the effect of water and a series of aliphatic alcohols on subcritical crack growth in cement paste, log crack velocity-stress intensity factor curves were obtained by means of a double-torsion technique. The relative position of the curves was found to be dependent on the dielectric con
