With the development of computer technology, increasing attention is being paid to the modeling work of cementitious-based materials. Many researchers have been carrying out the research to better model the hydration of cement-based materials in the last decades. It is obvious that a cogent simulation of the hydration of cement-based materials has crucial role in […]
Limestone has been utilized as a mineral addition in cement industry for a long time. The latest European Standard (EN 197-1-2000) allows up to 5% limestone as a minor additional constituent, and also identifies four types of Portland limestone cement containing 6-20% limestone (types II/A-L and II/A-LL) and 21-35% limestone (types II/B-L and II/B-LL), respectively.

Introduction of slag cement
Blast-furnace slag (BFS) is formed from a liquid at 1350-1550 °C during the manufacture of iron. When reaching the bottom of the furnace, the liquid slag forms a layer on top of the molten iron due to its lower density. Being separated from the molten iron, the liquid slag is cooled in the air or […]
