This work reviews state of the art representative volume element (RVE) generation
techniques for heterogeneous materials. To this end, we present a systematic classification …

The characterisation of cement paste microstructure is an important step towards
understanding durability mechanisms in cementitious materials. Scanning electron …

Long term assurance of the integrity of wellbores is a key objective in well designs. Over
long periods of time, subsurface reactions are inevitable and could compromise the integrity …

A study conducted at the National Energy Technology Laboratory characterized twelve
Class F fly ash samples from nine PC power plants in PA, WV, MD and TN, using scanning …

A three-dimensional computer model for the simulation of portland cement hydration and
microstructure development has been developed. Starting with a measured particlesize …

This book provides a detailed guide to the selection and use of aggregates in concrete. It
presents an overview of aggregate sources and production techniques, followed by a …

Part 1 of the paper presents a new numerical model of hygro‐thermal and hydration
phenomena in concrete at early ages and beyond. This is a solidification‐type model where …

Cement hydration development has been analyzed on the basis of measured data obtained
by the microcalorimetrical method. Based on the most appropriate model assumed …

The evolution of coupled thermal (T), hydraulic (H), mechanical (M) and chemical
(C)(THMC) properties of underground cemented paste backfill (CPB) has been studied by …

The ASTM C150 standard specification for Portland cement now permits the cement to
contain up to 5% of ground limestone. While these and much higher levels of limestone filler …
