Review of several existing models simulating the hydration of cementitious materials

In the late 1980s, Johnson and Jennings wrote a program which was based on the idea that cement hydration is considered as nucleation and growth of spherical particles in three-dimensional space. HYMOSTRUC was built by K. van Breugel, this model is based on the assumption that the growth of new layers of hydration products is […]

Two main methods to model cement-based materials

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 […]
