Perme<strong>ability</strong> <strong>of</strong> Aggregate<br />

Reason:<br />

• Some aggregates have much higher<br />

perme<strong>ability</strong> than the cement paste<br />

because their capillary pores are much<br />

larger.<br />

• Most <strong>of</strong> the capillary porosity in a mature<br />

cement paste lies in the range 10 <strong>to</strong> 100<br />

nm, while pore size in aggregates are, on<br />

average, larger than 10 microns.<br />
