Abstract
The knowledge of the microstructure is a point of major importance to understand the transport, mechanics, creep and shrinkage properties. The present work proposes a method to quantitatively predict the volume percentage of each of phases in Portland cement pastes. The saturated density of C-S-H is revised as a function of degree of hydration and water to cement ratio (w/c). The computed results are consistent with experimental values for cement paste that performed in this study.
