A cement paste prepared with 300 gm of cement has a water cement ratio (W/C) pf 0.4, what is the capillary porosity at the end of one year assuming that maximum hydration has taken place. |
|
Answer» end of the year, the value of capillary POROSITY will be 0.36 after maximum hydration Explanation:A correct ratio of cement and water is necessary to make a smooth HOMOGENEOUS paste. The loss of water due to evaporation ned s to be FIXED during the setting TIME. Therefore the correct capillary porosity is the ACTUAL water and the cement ratio is the mixture. At the end of the year, the value of capillary porosity will be 0.36 after maximum hydration. |
