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 limestone in General Purpose cement on autogenous shrinkage of high strength GGBFS concrete and pastes

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the autogenous shrinkage of pastes and concretes prepared using General Purpose cement and GGBFS up to 100 days and found that these long term reactions lead to a significant refinement of the pore structure.

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.
