Several models have been proposed in recent years to simulate the hydration and microstructure development of blended cements. However, most of these models need further development. For example, the nucleation and growth of calcium hydroxide (CH) particles were often not simulated explicitly in these models.","hydration; microstructure; simulation; pore solution chemistry; porosity; slag; fly ash","en","doctoral thesis","","978-94-6366-045-7","","","","","","","","","Materials and Environment","","",""
