Effect of curing conditions on the total water content of hardened portland cement paste

Kaissar M. Hanna, S.A.S. El-Hemaly

Abstract

Abstract The effect of various curing conditions on the amount of water held by pastes with low water/cement ratios was investigated. It was concluded from the results that factors significantly influencing the total water content of a cement paste made with ordinary Portland cement and cured at room temperature are: water/cement ratio, curing medium, curing period and curing history.
