Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a new analysis tool was developed to quantify the experimentally observed changes in morphology of portlandite, allowing the calculation of the relative surface energies of the crystal facets.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the presence of limestone on the hydration of Portland cement was investigated, and it was shown that the stabilisation of monocarbonate in the absence of limestone indirectly stabilised ettringite, leading to a corresponding increase of the total volume of the hydrate phase and a decrease of porosity.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a two types of calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) exist in cement-based materials, but less is known about how the two types affect the mechanical properties.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: 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.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamic model is developed and applied to calculate the composition of the pore solution and the hydrate assemblage during the hydration of an OPC.
