This study reports some preliminary observations of microcracks in hardened high performance cement paste (i.e., cement paste of low water:binder ratio). Specimens were examined at high magnifications and at relative humidities ranging from 0 to 100% in an environmental scanning electron microscope
This paper demonstrates that the microstructure of hydrated cement paste varies with distance from an exposed, drying face. Supporting measurements of cement hydration, adsorption capacity, porosity and diffusion rate are reported for an ordinary Portland cement and an ordinary Portland/pulverised f
