TL;DR: In this article, the phase assemblage and pore solution of Portland cements hydrated between 0-60°C were modeled as a function of time and temperature, and a good correlation between calculated porosity and measured compressive strength was observed.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown by experiment and calculation that much, if not all, of this calcite is reactive and affects the distribution of lime, alumina and sulfate and thereby alters the mineralogy of hydrated cement pastes.

TL;DR: In this article, a scheme of phase balances was proposed to calculate the mineralogical balances of a hydrated cement paste with greater accuracy than hitherto practicable, and experimentally-determined phase relationships were depicted at 25 deg. C.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanisms that govern the transport of ions, moisture, and gas are described, and different chemical degradation phenomena are reviewed, such as sulfate attack from external sources and formation of ettringite and thaumasite.

TL;DR: In this article, a database of commonly-encountered cement substances including C-S-H, Ca(OH)2, selected AFm, AFt and hydrogarnet compositions as well as solid solutions is presented.
