Term: Cement chemist notation
– Main Phases in Portland Cement Before and After Hydration:
– Oxides used to build complex compounds
– Main crystalline phases related to clinker and non-hydrated Portland cement
– Crystalline phases of Portland cement known as AF
– Phase composition quantified through Bogue formula
– Addition of calcium sulfate and limestone filler in cement preparation
– Hydrated Cement Paste:
– Hydration products in hardened cement pastes (HCPs)
