It has been experimentally determined to what degree does the non-evaporable water content, total porosity, and strength of portland cement mortars depend, under otherwise constant conditions, on the temperature, time, and mode of curing. Such data are important in determining the best curing condit

I am most thankful to Dr. A1-Amoudi for providing data supporting my findings. Evidently, in light of the increase in the use of silica fume concrete, any contribution to the performance of cementitious systems containing silica fume in an aggressive environment is highly commended, as this issue is
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 o
The paper by Mikhail et al. was of especial interest to me since it extends work that I had some connection with previously (Mather 1957). I was, however, confused by certain aspects of the paper and hope that they may be clarified. Beginning with the "Introduction" the authors cite work by Burba,
