This paper is a bibliographic tool reviewing experimental and theoretical studies related to
cement hydration and microstructure development that have been published within the four …

This article features an investigation of the accelerated carbonation products of four calcium
silicate phases, namely monoclinic-tricalcium silicate (3CaO· SiO 2 or C 3 S), γ-dicalcium …

Concrete pavements represent a large portion of the transportation infrastructure. While the
vast majority of concrete pavements provide excellent long-term performance, a portion of …

This study documents how the pore structure develops with time in cement-based materials
with varying fly ash replacement. Heat production was measured during the first days, water …

This paper presents a numerical approach for predicting moisture transport in concrete
based on pore size distribution represented by a multi-Rayleigh–Ritz model that includes …

Concrete is a composite material whose stress history assumes relevance since the early
ages. Soon after concrete casting important exothermic cement hydration reactions take …

Thermochemical energy storage using salt hydrates is a promising method to store low-
grade heat and resolve the mismatch between supply and demand of renewable energy …

The paper assesses two research techniques for the determination of moisture sorption
isotherms. On the one hand, in the time and labor-intensive traditional method the relative …

We used dynamic sorption balance measurements to evaluate the diffusivity for cement
pastes with three different binders (OPC, OPC+ 70% slag, OPC+ 10% silica fume). The …

In this study all the data needed to describe water transport (drying) within an existing
concrete structure were characterized using a simple drying experiment. The properties …
