On correlation between the grain size composition and strength of cement

The paper demonstrates that the presence of components more easily ground than clinker in the cement charge distorts the correlation between the specific surface and strength of cement, especially at early hardening stages and after heat and moisture treatment. A high correlation was established between the two-day strength of cements and their strength after heat and moisture treatment.
