This paper compares recent methods of internal hydrophobization of cementitious composite by silicon-based solutions and a crystalline admixture used as the alternation of external coatings. The study focuses on the overall hydrophobic performance of the admixtures as well as on their impact on the microstructure and micromechanical properties. Results contained in this paper show both positive influence of the admixtures and limitations with respect to their micromechanical performance measured by nanoindentation.
