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.

Effect of silica fume on hydration of air-cured blended cement pastes measured by DSC/TG analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of silica fume on hydration of cement pastes was studied. Butler et al. showed that the amount of C-S-H gels decreases in time with an increasing amount of Silica Fume which is in the contrary to the vaterite/calcite content.

Effect of microcrystalline cellulose on rheology, hydration kinetics and early-age properties of Portland cement-based and alkali-activated slag-fly ash blend

TL;DR: In this article , the influence of MCC on the evolution of rheological behavior, micro-structural build-up, hydration kinetics and early-age strength (up to seven days) of OPC and AAM matrices subject to dry and sealed curing was examined.

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.
