✦ Synopsis


Cement pastes made with different water-cement ratios were hydrated at different temperatures for different times. The main factor influencing the strength properties of the obtained samples was found to be their porosity, however pores with radii of less than 10 nm affected the resultant strength only negligibly. At equal porosities the strength increased with increasing amount of hydrate phases present. Specific surface area had no significant effect on strength.
