List of Figures

• Flow diagram summarizing experimental and modelling program for predicting cement performance.
• Flowchart specifying segmentation algorithm for selecting pixel phase values.
• Final segmented two-dimensional image of Cement 116 issued by the Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (NIST). Phases from brightest to darkest are: C₃A, gypsum, C₄AF, C₃S, C₂S, and porosity. Image is approximately 250 µm x 200 µm.
• Flowchart specifying filtering algorithm for assigning pixel phase values to the three-dimensional starting cement microstructure image.
• Connected total solids volume fraction vs. degree of hydration for a cement paste with a w/c ratio of 0.4.
• Connected capillary porosity fraction vs. volume fraction of porosity for a cement paste with a w/c ratio of 0.4.
• Experimentally measured and model predicted (solid line) adiabatic temperature rise for an ordinary portland cement concrete containing 72% aggregates on a mass basis.
