What are the causes of unsoundness of cement?

Unsoundness is caused by a increase in volume (eg due to hydration products) which occurs after the cement paste has set. The larger particles in coarse cement continue to hydrate well after the rest of the paste has set around them. Therefore any subsequent volume increases cannot be absorbed by the plasticity of the paste, and expansive cracking may occur.
