•Some waterisimbibedinGel pores–GELWATER
•About15%waterisrequiredtofillup theGelPores–GELWATER
•38%Waterisrequiredforcompletereaction & occupytheGelPores.
•If water is less than 38% -complete hydration is not possible –High
StrengthConcrete(HSC)
•Ifwaterismorethan38%-Gelwillbelessdense–Undesirable–Increase
Permeability-Pronetoearlydeterioration
•Lower water content –Gel will be more dense –Impermeable –Most
Desirable –Unhydrated particles of cement if any (in HSC) will hydrate at a
laterageand fillthecracks–Henceimproveddurability
