Abstract

It is pointed out by theoretical analyses that calculating the preferred orientation degree of portlandite within the interfacial zone between cement paste and the aggregate, according to the currently accepted formula, can only be used as a qualitative method. The authors propose a method using the rocking curve of the diffraction line for determining the preferred orientation degree of portlandite and obtaining more precise results. This method can be used as a quantitative one.
