Several researchers have been using an X-ray diffraction technique to examine the orientation of calcium hydroxide crystals at the interface between cement paste and aggregate. Recently, however, the use of X-ray diffraction for this purpose has been called into question because the goniometer sweep

β¦ Synopsis
A microcrystalline form of calcium hydroxide consisting of dusters of lamallae, -10rim in thickness, intimately mixed with C-S-H gel, has been observed in a lime-silica cement paste by transmission electron microscopy. The volumes of calcium hydroxide and C-S-H in the dusters are comparable. The implications of this are discussed.

The aim of the study is to investigate the calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2 ) contents in pozzolanic cement pastes analyzed by the chemical extraction method and thermal analysis (DTA/TG). The second part of the study involves the carbonation of pozzolanic cement pastes and its influence on Ca(OH) 2 redu
Mechanical properties of Ca(OH) 2 are compared with those of portland cement paste at different por?slties. Intrinsic values of modulus of elasticity (E) and mlcrohardness (H) for Ca(OH) 2 compacts were obtained by extrapolatlng to zero porosity log E and log H versus porosity curves. The values for
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
