Investigation of strength and hydration characteristics in nano-silica incorporated cement paste

Another software you can use and more literature available for hydration simulation are CEMHYD3D and HYMOSTRUC,

Susana

Hi Susana,

I really appreciate your informative response! Thank you.

Cheers,

Afshin

Emilio Hernández Bautista worked on this topic (using COMSOL) as part of his Ph.D. thesis a few years back. See his Researchgate page for the relevant publications.

Thank you D. P. Bentz

I am reading his papers. Thank you for your kind answer.

Afshin

I have not been able to access the program through the older NIST FTP links, as they appear to be no longer functional. I would be very grateful if you could kindly guide me on the current way to obtain or access the CEMHYD3D software package (v2.0/v3.0).

Your guidance will be extremely valuable in helping me advance the simulation component of my PhD research.
