The phrase "later strength" is not a standard expression in written English and may cause confusion.
It could potentially be used in contexts discussing the strength or effectiveness of something that develops or becomes apparent later in time.
Example: "The team's later strength was evident in their ability to adapt and overcome challenges as the project progressed."
Alternatives: "subsequent strength" or "future strength."
The comparison indicates that the later strength is unconservative compared with the FE strengths.
This hypothesis is supported by the fact that the enhancement of later strength coincides with the shift in pore size.
The lower later strength development was due to the dilution effect, which resulted in insufficient calcium hydroxide for pozzolanic reactions.
It is observed that the early strength development of samples is largely controlled by the fineness of slag particles, while the later strength firstly increases with the reduction of slag particles until reaching a turning point and then decreases.
The study indicates that improved properties of concrete are not solely later strength gain and reduced levels of heavy metals in leachate but also the progression of pozzolanic reactions, where a dense structure contains a higher proportion of fine pores that are related to durability.
Experiments show that the setting time of BRC is relatively shorter but the later strength is higher, and the resistance to chemical attack of brines is more excellent than ordinary Portland cement, which is more suitable for engineering construction in saline lakes.
The addition of quicklime increased both the early and later strengths of the cement clay specimens.
Properly designed alkali-activated cements can exhibit both higher early and later strengths than conventional portland cement.
The strengths of mortars with fluorogypsum-blast furnace slag-based hydraulic cementitious binder (FBB) were studied at different hydration ages, showing that their later strengths increased rapidly.
Later age strength can be predicted using the relationship strength-maturity at early age with a correlation coefficient ranging from 0.89 to 0.98.
The results indicated that the CSC exhibited higher drying shrinkage, capillary water absorption, carbonation depths, and a slightly lower later compressive strength compared with RSC.
