Abstract

High strength cement pastes include hot pressed, autoclaved, impregnated low water/cement ratio, macrodefect free, ultrafine particles arrangement systems. The densification of the microstrucure is mainly related to a low porosity and to the formation of poorly crystalline hydrates. In composite systems like mortars and concretes, the interfacial bond between the cement paste and aggregates is moreover less porous and more finely crystallized than the normal “auréole de transition”.
