The CSH gel is an elusive material. Its variable composition and disordered nature
complicate a complete characterization of its atomic structure, and the elaboration of models …

Cement-based materials are widely utilized in infrastructure. The main product of hydrated
products of cement-based materials is calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gels that are …

Recycling waste glass for diversified utilization has received increasing attention in recent
years. This work aimed to reuse waste glass powder (GP) as a high temperature stabilizer to …

The relation between the chemical composition of calcium–silicate–hydrate (C–S–H)
phases and its influence on the compressive strength of cementitious materials is …

This paper presents a review on the relationship between the composition, the structure and
the solution in which calcium silicate hydrate (C–S–H) is equilibrated. The silica chain length …

Despite its ubiquitous presence in the built environment, concrete's molecular-level
properties are only recently being explored using experimental and simulation studies …

Since its widespread use in concrete began over 100 years ago, the chemical composition
and physical properties of portland cement have changed only incrementally in response to …

This paper reviews the state of the field of nanotechnology in concrete. Definitions of
nanotechnology, including nanoscience and nano-engineering in concrete, are provided …

For first time, an experimental and computational study has been conducted to define a
structural model for the CASH gel forming in alkali-activated slag (AAS) pastes that would …

Efforts to model and simulate the highly complex cement hydration process over the past
40years are reviewed, covering different modeling approaches such as single particle …
