Dear Mohammed,

for example please have a look a very recently published review on Concrete Microstructure via the RG link below (full-text available):

Article Concrete Microstructure -A Review

For a more general view on concrete the following book could be of interest for you:

https://www.accessengineeringlibrary.com/browse/concrete-microstructure-properties-and-materials-fourth-edition#fullDetails

Please 'google' for that book including the term 'pdf'. The full text is available.
