ON THE RELATION BETWEEN THE PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION AND THE STRENGTH OF PORTLAND CEMENT

ON THE BASIS OF THE KNOWN RESULTS OF INVESTIGATIONS IN THIS FIELD IT IS ATTEMPTED, WITH THE AID OF STRENGTH TESTS ON THREE CEMENTS FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES, TO ESTABLISH RELATIONS BETWEEN THE STRENGTH AND THE FINENESS OF CEMENT. FOR THAT PURPOSE THE DIFFERENT CEMENTS WERE SPLIT UP INTO A LARGE NUMBER OF SIZE BRACKETS AND COMBINED INTO MANY ARBITRARILY CHOSEN PARTICLE MIXTURES. THERE IS FOUND TO BE A LINEAR RELATION BETWEEN THE CEMENT STRENGTH AND THE HYDRATED AMOUNT OF CEMENT, THE HYDRATED AMOUNT BEING CALCULATED FROM THE PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION WITH THE AID OF INFORMATION (PUBLISHED IN THE LITERATURE) AS TO THE DEPTH OF HYDRATION. THE RELATIONS THUS FOUND ARE VERIFIED WITH REFERENCE TO PUBLISHED DATA. /AUTHOR/
