Below are the first 10 and last 10 pages of uncorrected machine-read text (when available) of this chapter, followed by the top 30 algorithmically extracted key phrases from the chapter as a whole.
Intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text on the opening pages of each chapter.
Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.
Do not use for reproduction, copying, pasting, or reading; exclusively for search engines.

C-S-H
Calcium silicate hydrate, a colloidal and mostly amorphous gel with a variable composition; this is the major hydration product of Portland cement, constituting approximately 70 percent of the paste, and is the phase providing most of the strength and binding
CH
Calcium hydroxide, a hydration product constituting approximately 20 percent of the paste and, while contributing little to the overall strength, buffers the paste pore solution to a pH of approximately 12.5
Afm
Tetra-calcium aluminate trisulfate hydrate, usually with some substitution of Al by Fe and SO4 substituting for hydroxyl

Aft
Ettringite, a calcium trialuminate hydrate, usually with some substitution of Al by Fe
Monosulfate
(Afm with complete SO4 substitution)
w/c or w/b
Mass ratio of water to cement or binder (cement + mineral admixtures)
