Shrinkage mechanisms of alkali-activated slag

TL;DR: In this paper, the physical and chemical changes of alkali-activated slag (AAS) after a prolonged drying treatment under various relative humidity (RH) conditions were studied, and the shrinkage kinetics of AAS is strongly dependent on the RH, but irrespective of the moisture loss.

Quantitative discrimination of the nano-pore-structure of cement paste during drying: New insights from water sorption isotherms

TL;DR: In this article, a new ability to quantitatively evaluate the complex pore system of cement pastes, using water sorption isotherms, is used to illuminate: evolutions of microstructure during drying, the mechanisms that control drying shrinkage, and a novel method to compute the original w/c (i.e., water-to-cement ratio, mass basis).

Multiscale investigations on hydration mechanisms in seawater OPC paste

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted multiscale investigations on hydration mechanisms of ordinary Portland cement with seawater mixing and found that seawater enhances the hydration of cement expressed by the accelerated heat flow and increased heat of hydration.
