“…Comparing the WFT values of OPC1 with those of the binary blended cements, it is evident that 0.2 LF and 0.2 DF always increase the WFT of OPC1, due to the effective reduction of voids, and also the increase in the surface area is proportionally lower than the increase in the excess of water, mainly for low w/c ratio. For 0.2 MK up to a w/c ratio of 0.8, the same behavior occurs as for 0.2 LF and 0.2 DF, and once this w/c ratio is exceeded, the WFT decreases due to the increase in the specifi c surface area is greater than the increase in excess water (8,9,17). For 0.2 MI, the WFT values are always lower than those corresponding to OPC1, especially for a high w/c ratio owing to the decrease in microstructure density (Fig.…”
