GUIDE TO COMPOUNDS OF INTEREST IN CEMENT AND CONCRETE RESEARCH

THIS REPORT CONTAINS A BRIEF DISCUSSION OF THE NAMES AND PERTINENT CHARACTERISTICS OF APPROXIMATELY 100 COMPOUNDS AND PHASES OF INTEREST IN THE CHEMISTRY OF PORTLAND AND RELATED CEMENTS. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT SUCH A LIST CANNOT BE COMPLETE BECAUSE OF THE MULTIPLICITY OF PHASES, HYDRATION STATES, AND SOLID SOLUTION POSSIBILITIES. IN SELECTING PHASES, THEY HAVE TRIED TO INCLUDE ALMOST ALL OF THE COMPOUNDS OF INTEREST WITHOUT LETTING THE COMPENDIUM BECOME OVERWHELMINGLY LARGE. THE COMPOUNDS ARE CLASSIFIED INTO 18 GROUPS FOR EASE OF REFERENCE. THE GROUPS ARE GENERALLY ARRANGED IN INCREASING ORDER OF COMPOSITIONAL COMPLEXITY; E. G., UNHYDRATED PHASES ARE LISTED AT THE BEGINNING AND COMPLEX HYDRATED PHASES ARE LISTED NEAR THE END.
