It was shown that the structures and properties of both ash and cement pastes can be described and explained by the same structural models. At the same age, and for the same water/binder ratio, the ash pastes, however, exhibited higher total and capillary porosities, lower specific surface area and

โฆ Synopsis
The composition and physical features of oil shale ash pastes were determined and compared with the corresponding properties of portland cement paste.
In the first part presented here, the composition, chemically combined water, porosity (total, capillary and gel porosity), pore-slze and pore-slze distribution, and specific surface area were determined by water vapor adsorption, mercury penetration and X-ray diffraction . It was established that the structural features and the factors which control and determine these features, are essentially the same in both the ash and the portland cement pastes.
In the ash paste, however, total porosity remained virtually unchanged with time. This aspect, as well as the mechanical properties of the ash paste, are presented and discussed in the second part of the paper.
