Reduction of water content in calcium aluminate cement with/out phosphate modification for alternative cementation technique [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cementation of the secondary aqueous wastes from TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is challenging due to the significant strontium content and radioactivity, leading to a potential risk of hydrogen gas generation via radiolysis of water content.

Contact point geometry governs structural buildup at rest in Portland cement–limestone blends

open access: yesJournal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The early stiffening of fresh cement paste plays a key role in shaping and stability during casting and 3D printing. In Portland cement systems, this phenomenon arises from the formation of calcium–silicate–hydrate (C-S-H$\text{C-S-H}$), which stiffens grain‐to‐grain contacts.

Modifying admixtures to cement compositions produced from local raw materials

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Durability of hardened cement paste depends on chemical and mineralogical composition of Portland cement. The main factor for hardened cement paste is higher content of calcium aluminate and free calcium hydroxide, binding of which into water-insoluble ...

Temporal effects on the micro- and nano-structural cement-slag pastes subjected to microwave curing over 7 years

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials
This study examines the changes in the micro- and nano-structures of microwave-cured cement and slag pastes over 7 years. The properties of aged samples were compared with those of young pastes made from the same mixtures.

Synchrotron x-ray pair distribution function: A tool to characterize cement gels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cement matrices contain large amounts of crystalline phases jointly with amorphous and/or nanocrystalline phases. Consequently, their analyses are very challenging.

Using boron as a tracer reveals how surface precipitates inhibit silicate dissolution in hyperalkaline solutions during alkali–silica reaction

open access: yesJournal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Silicate dissolution under hyperalkaline conditions is a key process that affects the evolution of alkali–silica reaction (ASR) in concrete. In these environments, dissolution may involve multiple overlapping processes—including ion adsorption on reactive sites, transport of dissolved species, and the formation of alteration layers.

Influence of SiO2 nanoparticles on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of Portland cement nanocomposites

open access: yesJournal of Taibah University for Science, 2021
In the context of the microstructure of nano-SiO2 cement nanocomposites, information regarding the tricalcium silicate (C3S) and dicalcium silicate (C2S) phases during the hydration reaction remains inadequate. Therefore, in this research, the effects of

Synthesis and hydration mechanism of a steel‐making by‐product based quaternary binder suitable for superfine tailings

open access: yesJournal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 1, January 2026.
• A novel low‐cost SQB was synthesized and optimized for CSTB. • The synergistic hydration mechanism of sulfate‐activated LS with alkali–sulfate‐activated GGBFS in SQB was revealed. • The SQB has effectively consolidated ST, which have significant potential for both environmental and economic benefits.
