Progress in understanding hydration mechanisms of alite and Portland cement is reviewed.
Up to the end of the induction period, dissolution rates determined by the undersaturation of …

Environmental issues associated with tailings management have made it the most daunting
challenge faced by the mining industry. To dispose mineral tailings in a technical …

Progress in understanding hydration is summarized. Evidence supports the geochemistry
dissolution theory as an explanation for the induction period, in preference to the inhibiting …

Concrete digital fabrication is an innovative construction approach where infrastructural
elements can be built additively without using formwork. This represents a significant …

The “filler effect”, due to the physical presence of mineral additions in cement, is mainly
known to accelerate the hydration of the clinker component. Previously, this was attributed to …

Presented within is a critical overview of the effect of sulfates on cement hydration,
properties, and optimum sulfate content in Portland cement. Calcium sulfate is used in …

Rapid global industrial growth is causing an increase in the generation of large-scale by-
products and waste materials, which can be recycled in the construction industry to …

This paper intends to contribute to a better knowledge of the dehydration and rehydration of
blended SCMs (SF, FA, GGBS, LS)-cement pastes. To this end, a comprehensive …

Hydrated cement paste can be recycled by thermal activation as an alternative binder with
low energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions during production. This investigation …

The development of green cements, with the aim of reducing CO 2 emissions, often results
in reduced hydration activity, especially during the first hours and days. Nucleation seeding …
