✦ Synopsis

This investigation represents an attempt to combine analytical electron microscope analysis of the composition of individual particles separated from hydrated portland cements with a micromorphological examination of the same particles usinq high-resolution scanning electron microscopy. The particles described here are all referrable to the C-S-H gel type III category, or to impure calcium hydroxide. Variations in composition turned out to be substantial, not only from one C-S-H gel particle to another, but between different small regions of the same fragment of gel.

This paper deals with the effect of the leaching process of cement based materials on their mechanical properties. This process induces mainly a total leaching of Ca(OH), and a progressive decalcification of C-S-H which leads to a gradient of C/S ratio in the leaching zone. In a previous work, we ve
