Abstract

An experimental and modeling program has been designed to elucidate the structural and thermodynamic response of cement minerals to elevated temperature. The components of the program include: a) synthesis of hydrated Ca-silicates; b) structural analysis of cement phases during heating and dehydration/rehydration; c) mechanistic and thermodynamic descriptions of the hydration/dehydration behavior of hydrated Ca-silicates as a function of temperature, pressure and relative humidity; d) study of naturally occurring hydrated Ca-silicates; and e) measurements of thermodynamic data for hydrated Ca-silicates.
