Abstract

Recent experimental work is presented using a new technique to observe bubbles that have escaped from cement pastes and suspended in the bleed water. These experiments suggest that the stability of an air-entrained bubble may be related to the integrity of the hydration shell. This paper also reviews literature dealing with changes to air bubbles with time in fresh air entrained cement paste and concrete and to the existence of a shell surrounding these bubbles.
