Abstract
Scanning electron micrographs show that a hydration product forms inside the anhydrous cement grains and forms a pseudomorph of the original cement grain. The originally water-filled space between the grains is partially filled with calcium hydroxide crystals that appear to be responsible for the strength of the cement paste.Keywords
