The phase composition of a particular cement can be quantified through a complex set of calculation known as the Bogue formula. To avoid the flash setting of concrete, due to the very fast hydration of the tricalcium aluminate ( C 3 A ), 2–5 wt. % calcium sulfate is interground with the cement clinker to prepare the cement powder.
Which can also be written in the cement chemist notation as: 2C 3 S + 6H → C 3 S 2 H 3 + 3CH + 6H 2 O → C-S-H + The hydrate is referred to as the calcium silicate hydrate – "C-S-H-" – phase. It grows as a mass of interlocking needles that provide the strength of the hydrated cement system. High alite reactivity is desirable in Portland ...
An AFm phase is an "alumina, ferric oxide, monosubstituted" phase, or aluminate ferrite monosubstituted, or Al 2 O 3, Fe 2 O 3 mono, in cement chemist notation (CCN). AFm phases are important hydration products in the hydration of Portland cements and hydraulic cements.

Calcium aluminates can form complex salts in combination with different types of anions.Two series of calcium aluminates are known in cement chemistry: AFm and AFt phases, being respectively mono- or tri-substituted with a given divalent anion X (e.g. SO 2− 4, CO 2− 3, or hosting a divalent impurity such as SeO 2− 4 [3]...), or with two units of a monovalent anion, e.g. OH −, Cl − ...

Concrete has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and as it matures concrete shrinks. All concrete structures will crack to some extent, due to shrinkage and tension. Concrete which is subjected to long-duration forces is prone to creep. The density of concrete varies, but is around 2,400 kilograms per cubic metre (150 lb/cu ft). [1]
