Abstract

This paper highlights the physico-chemical characteristics of cementitious materials responsible for or involved in setting, and how these are related to the strengthening and mechanical properties. Five main mechanisms which can be used to increase cementitious materials strength were discussed. The substantially improved cement matrix materials can be obtained by deliberately using one or more above mechanisms. Experiments have been performed on ordinary portland cements and phosphate cements used as construction materials, whose setting time is several hours, and dental cement, whose setting time is several minutes.
