Abstract

The hydration of a blended cement through hydraulic or pozzolanic reactions results in heterogeneous polyphase materials. Because portland cement clinker is the major component in most cement blends, the microstructural development of portland cement hydrates, including C-S-H and pore structures, is first-discussed. Slag, fly ash, silica fume and limestone filler cements are then compared to portland cement with regards to C-S-H morphology and composition, aluminate crystallization, cement paste interfaces and pore size distribution.
