Water-to-cement ratio of calcium sulfoaluminate belite cements: Hydration, setting time, and strength development

Lisa Burris, Kimberly E. Kurtis · 26 May 2022

Little published data is available to guide engineers in designing calcium sulfoaluminate belite (CSAB) cement mixtures with adequate workability, strength, and durability. This lack of understanding of design factors, especially the effect of varying w/c, represents a significant barrier to widespread CSAB use. In this study hydration, setting time, and strength development of two CSAB…

Evaluation of corn straw ash as supplementary cementitious material: Effect of acid leaching on its pozzolanic activity

Charles Prado Ferreira de Lima, Guilherme Chagas Cordeiro · 19 Apr 2021

The use of biomass ash is an environmentally friendly practice in the search for sustainable construction materials. This study aimed to produce pozzolanic ash from corn straw with a high amorphous silica content, low carbon content, and high specific surface area via controlled acid leaching, two-step burning, and grinding. The effect of pretreating corn straw…

Assessing condition of concrete affected by internal swelling reactions (ISR) through the Damage Rating Index (DRI)

Leandro Sanchez, Thano Drimalas, Benoît Fournier · 1 Jun 2020

The Damage Rating Index (DRI) has been increasingly used in North America since it answers interesting questions on the cause and extent of damage in concrete. Currently, the DRI is mostly used to appraise alkali-silica reaction (ASR) affected concrete and there is very few research on the evaluation of other distress mechanisms through this method.…

Enhancing carbonation of magnesium oxide (MgO) cement (RMC)-based composites with calcined limestone

Rotana Hay, Kemal Çelik · 16 Jun 2022

Increasing pore solution pH in a concrete matrix will enhance CO2 dissolution. In this study, calcined limestone was used as a replacement of reactive magnesium oxide (MgO) cement (RMC) at 5 and 10 wt.% to increase its carbonation rate and content. Its influence on strength development, chemical evolution, and microstructure was also investigated. The calcined…

A quantitative approach to determining sulfate balance for LC3

Oğulcan Canbek, Connor Szeto, Newell R. Washburn et al. · 21 Feb 2023

Achieving the correct sulfate balance in limestone calcined clay cements (LC3) to control aluminate hydration is critical for early hydration and property development, but the role of the calcined kaolin (metakaolin) fraction relative to other compositional variables has not been previously well-explored. In addition, little published research has investigated the influence of water-to-solid ratio (w/s)…

Cement template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Cement format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Cement template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Cement use?
Cement uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, Cement 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Cement?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Cement document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Cement template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Cement format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Cement?
Cement is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Cement template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Cement PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Cement template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Cement template cost?
You can start writing in the Cement template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Cement PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
