Abstract

Chapter 2 reviewed the experimental, theoretical, and computational study on the molecular structure of the C–S–H gel. Experimental study provides the physical and chemical features of the C–S–H gel, which provides fundamental base for the modeling. Meanwhile, the theoretical contributions give valuable insights into the molecular structural evolution mechanism of the complicated cement hydrate.
