  • Description: <jats:p>The early stage development of the cement microstructure is a crucial aspect affecting the overall performance of cementitious materials. The formation of hydration products depends on the presence of water and carbon dioxide, as well as on the distribution and re-crystallization of the cement particles. In this paper we evaluate the micromechanical properties evolution of cement phases over first 28 days after casting by the electron microscopy and static areal indentation.</jats:p>
