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.

Aside from water the materials which are used by mankind in highest
quantities arecementitious materials and concrete. This book shows
how the quality of the technical product depends on mineral phases
and their reactions during the hydration and strengthening process.
Additives and admixtures infl uence the course of hydration and the
properties. Options of reducing the CO2-production in cementitious
materials are presented and numerous examples of unhydrous and
hydrous phases and their formation conditions are discussed. This
editorial work consists of four parts including cement composition
and hydration, Special cement and binder mineral phases,
Cementitious and binder materials, and Measurement and properties.
Every part contains different contributions and covers a broad
range within the area. Contents Part I: Cement composition and
hydration Diffraction and crystallography applied to anhydrous
cements Diffraction and crystallography applied to hydrating
cements Synthesis of highly reactive pure cement phases
Thermodynamic modelling of cement hydration: Portland cements -
blended cements - calcium sulfoaluminate cements Part II: Special
cement and binder mineral phases Role of hydrotalcite-type layered
double hydroxides in delayed pozzolanic reactions and their bearing
on mortar dating Setting control of CAC by substituted acetic acids
and crystal structures of their calcium salts Crystallography and
crystal chemistry of AFm phases related to cement chemistry Part
III: Cementitious and binder materials Chemistry, design and
application of hybrid alkali activated binders Binding materials
based on calcium sulphates Magnesia building material (Sorel
cement) - from basics to application New CO2-reduced cementitious
systems Composition and properties of ternary binders Part IV:
Measurement and properties Characterization of microstructural
properties of Portland cements by analytical scanning electron
microscopy Correlating XRD data with technological properties No
cement production without refractories
