1. Introduction. Particle size distribution (PSD) of cementitious materials influences the packing density [1] and the hydration process of powders [2], [3], [4], and thus greatly affects the characteristics of the materials, such as setting time [3], water requirement [5], fluidity [6], microstructure [4], [7] and strength [5], [8].Many efforts have …
The computer simulations are conducted using two cement particle size distributions that bound those commonly in use today and three different water-to-cement ratios: 0.5, 0.3, and 0.246. For lower water-to-cement ratio systems, the use of coarser cements may offer equivalent or superior performance, as well as reducing production …

The preponderance of previous work has focused on the microstructure model by random packing of ellipsoidal particles, and little is known about three-dimensional (3D) non-ellipsoidal particles. In this paper, a modified cement particle size distribution function is used to facilitate particle size distribution of dodecahedral particles.
Cement particle size distribution and water demand. Concrete customers usually prefer cement with a low water demand for economic reasons; they need less cement to achieve the target concrete strength and slump. Cement factors impacting the concrete water demand include: Cement composition, including the presence of supplementary …
