Cover Story: Low-heat Portland (LHP) cement is a type of high belite cement. Based on the thermodynamic database of OPC-based materials, this study used the thermodynamic software GEM-Selektor (noted as GEMS) to simulate the hydration products of LHP cement paste. Then, according to the GEMS thermodynamic simulation results, MATLAB was used to visualize the initial and ultimate stages of LHP cement pastes; the effects of curing temperature and water to cement (w/c) ratio on hydration products and the porosity are addressed. Meanwhile, as a complex structure, the fractal dimension and tortuosity of cement paste are also calculated in this work. View this paper
