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.

Development of an eco-friendly Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) with efficient cement and mineral admixtures uses

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified Andreasen & Andersen particle packing model is used to achieve a densely compacted cementitious matrix, and the results show that the influence of FA, ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) and limestone powder (LP) on the early hydration kinetics of UHPC is very similar during the initial five days, while the hydration rate of the blends with GGBS is mostly accelerated afterwards.
