STRENGTH VS. STRUCTURE; A STUDY FOR HYDRAULIC CEMENTS

THE PRESENT STATE-OF-THE-ART IN STRUCTURE VERSUS STRENGTH DETERMINATIONS FOR HYDRAULIC CEMENTS IS REVIEWED. BOTH MORPHOLOGICAL AND MECHANICAL FACTORS ARE DISCUSSED. NEW ELECTRON MICROGRAPH STUDIES OF THE HYDRATED MATERIAL AT 800 KV ARE PRESENTED. EVIDENCE IS GIVEN TO SHOW THAT THE HYDRATED PORTLAND CEMENT IS POTENTIALLY A VERY STRONG MATERIAL. ALL THE DATA SUGGEST THAT PRIMARY BONDS EXIST BETWEEN THE AGGREGATIONS OF HYDRATED MATERIAL. HOWEVER THE EXISTENCE OF PRIMARY BONDS IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE STRUCTURE OF HYDRATED MATERIAL AS PRESENTED IN THE LITERATURE AND OBSERVED BY THE AUTHOR. /AUTHOR/
