Micromechanical Properties of Calcium Silicate Hydrate

Abstract:

The indentation modulus of several cementitious materials is discussed with the assumption that the C-S-H gel is an aggregation of precipitated, colloidal-sized particles. At least two kinds of structurally distinct but compositional similar phases are found existent during the hydration process. In addition, the C-S-H originated from the pozzolanic reaction of fly ash is found to be the same to that of cement hydration in micromechanical properties; however, the C-S-H gel formed from the secondary hydration is inclined to develop into high density packing configuration, due to the limitation of reaction zone available.
