The objective of this study was to determine the changes in the hydration process of cement paste as increasing amounts of silica fume are incorporated at high and low w/(c+sf) ratios. The hydration process of cement/silica fume paste was followed from the estimation of heat of hydration, Ca(OH)2 co

Properties such as porosity, pore-slze distribution, surface area and drying shrinkage are determined for silica fume-portland cement blends (0-30% silica fume) cured from I to 180 days at w/(c+sf) of 0.25 and 0.45. Porosity was measured by helium, mercury and water techniques. It is shown that in p
In an examination of a 1-year oM hydrated silica fume bearing cement paste a number of large (35-80 Ima) rounded siliceous particles were found that had apparently been derived from the coarse fraction of the silica fume. Calcium had diffused inward from the periphery of the grains, and in most case
The microstructure of the transition zone between steel and cement paste, and the effect of replacing portland cement by two levels of condensed silica fume was studied. Even with a high level of cement replacement (16%), some calcium hydroxide crystals with preferred orientation are formed near the
The degree of hydration, the expansion during hydration, and the total porosity of low-porosity portland cement pastes were investigated at hydration times ranging from 1 hour to 180 days. The effects of the type of cement (Type I and II), the grinding aid, the surface of the cement, the water-cemen
