A Practical Guide from Top-Level Industry Scientists As advanced
teaching and training in the development of cementitious materials
increase, the need has emerged for an up-to-date practical guide to
the field suitable for graduate students and junior and general
practitioners. Get the Best Use of Different Techniques and
Interpretations of the Results This edited volume provides the
cement science community with a state-of-the-art overview of
analytical techniques used in cement chemistry to study the
hydration and microstructure of cements. Each chapter focuses on a
specific technique, not only describing the basic principles behind
the technique, but also providing essential, practical details on
its application to the study of cement hydration. Each chapter sets
out present best practice, and draws attention to the limitations
and potential experimental pitfalls of the technique. Databases
that supply examples and that support the analysis and
interpretation of the experimental results strengthen a very
valuable ready reference. Utilizing the day-to-day experience of
practical experts in the field, this book: Covers sample
preparation issues Discusses commonly used techniques for
identifying and quantifying the phases making up cementitious
materials (X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis)
Presents good practice oncalorimetry and chemical shrinkage methods
for studying cement hydration kinetics Examines two different
applications of nuclear magnetic resonance (solid state NMR and
proton relaxometry) Takes a look at electron microscopy, the
preeminent microstructural characterization technique for
cementitious materials Explains how to use and interpret mercury
intrusion porosimetry Details techniques for powder
characterization of cementitious materials Outlines the practical
application of phase diagrams for hydrated cements Avoid common
pitfalls by using A Practical Guide to Microstructural Analysis of
Cementitious Materials. A one-of-a-kind reference providing the
do's and don'ts of cement chemistry, the book presents the latest
research and development of characterisation techniques for
cementitious materials, and serves as an invaluable resource for
practicing professionals specializing in cement and concrete
materials and other areas of cement and concrete technology.
