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

β¦ Synopsis
Porosity and pore size distribution measurements using mercury intrusion are reported for blended mortars (incorporating fly ash) dried by four different drying techniques. The drying techniques were: direct oven drying, solvent replacement drying, and two variations of freeze drying. Significant differences were observed in both porosity and pore size distribution results, depending on the technique used. It was concluded that the best technique with respect to preservation of pores is that using solvent replacement. Both freeze drying techniques help preserve pores in the fine pore region (r <5 nm) to some extent.
