TLDR
In this article, the effect of temperature in the mineralogical composition of cement hydration products has been studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and DTG curves, which can be used to determine fire conditions and the consequent deterioration expected in the cement paste.

Phase assemblage of a 5 year-old cement paste after submission to various high temperature and cooling regime

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of temperature exposure on the phase assemblage of the cementitious matrix has been investigated, where the authors investigate the changes of a cement paste, heated up to various temperature up to 1000°C then cooled in water or cooled in air for comparison.

The investigation of concrete damage and recycled aggregate properties under microwave and conventional heating

TL;DR: In this article , the effect of microwave and conventional irradiation on concrete under different heating paths was studied and the results showed that microwave heating has greater advantages than conventional heating methods that can effectively promote the development of interfacial cracks between mortar and aggregate, weaken the strength of concrete and liberate high-quality RCA under certain conditions.

Composition Changes in Cement Matrix of RC Column Exposed to Fire

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the changes of microstructural compositions in cement matrix according to the depth from the surface of a reinforced concrete (RC) column exposed to fire, and the experimental results indicated that the amount of C-S-H loss at the center of column experiencing the transferred fire temperature of 236 °C has been underestimated.

Compressive strength of concrete at high temperatures: a reassessment

TL;DR: In this paper, a reassessment of the subject is given, which considers material and environmental factors/mechanisms influencing the strength of concrete during the heat cycle and after cooling, not all of which necessarily result in strength loss.

Thermal stability and decomposition mechanisms of ettringite at <120°C

TL;DR: In this article, the decomposition and reformation of ettringite is studied as a function of water vapour pressure and temperature, and the authors make recommendations for the upper safe service limits for ETTringite-based cements.

Physicochemical, mineralogical, and morphological characteristics of concrete exposed to elevated temperatures

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of elevated temperatures on the mineralogical changes occurring in the hydrated phases of concrete cubes were studied by measuring ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and consequent deterioration in the compressive strength with increase in temperature.
