Analysis of Advanced Research Methods of Cement-Based Materials

The hydration of cement is known to be a complex phenomenon. Although the broad pattern of reactions and microstructural development are known, a number of important questions remain unanswered. How to select the proper techniques is what the research people think of for now. This paper reviewed the domestic and international research progress and presented the advantages and disadvantages of these methods and the application prospects. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), nanoindentation and electron microscopy techniques of cements were expounded in detail. Furthermore, through analyzing the results obtained by different research methods, the paper predicted the development prospect of advanced testing method of cement-based materials.
