In this study, the effects of curing methods and binder design on CAC performance, microstructure, and phase evolution are examined. A key contribution is the identification of the balance between pre-hydration and carbonation, a critical yet underexplored factor in strength development. It is demonstrated that insufficient pre-hydration retains excess moisture, hindering C₂S carbonation, while excessive pre-hydration restricts CO₂ diffusion. Two criteria are proposed for optimizing the pre-hydration: the reaction degree of C₂S reaching 40 % and the stabilization of the average pore size of the CAC matrix. Additionally, replacing 60 %–80 % of fly ash with steel slag in the binder mix has been shown to enhance carbonation efficiency and mechanical properties while maintaining a desirable dry density. These findings provide a practical framework for refining CAC mix design and curing strategies, facilitating broader application in sustainable construction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":266,"journal":{"name":"Cement and Concrete Research","volume":"195 ","pages":"Article 107905"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143869224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we present a new approach for predicting early hydration cement paste phase assemblage, microstructure development and elastic properties by applying thermodynamic modeling and simulation as input to a multi-scale material model. Cement dissolution for implementation within the thermodynamic simulation is derived by fitting the five-parameter logistic function (5PL) to experimental data from quantitative X-ray diffraction. Results are compared with simulations using the modified Parrot &amp; Killoh model for cement dissolution. Further, the influence of variations in the calcium sulphate and calcite content of the initial cement phase assemblage is investigated accounting for errors in experimental determination. The proposed model for hydrating cement paste accounts for all phases predicted by the thermodynamic simulation output, two types of C-S-H, as well as concentric growth of hydrates from the surface of the clinker grains. The stiffness of the hydrating cement paste is derived by upscaling the microscopic properties using a multi-level continuum micromechanics homogenization scheme.
