“…Meanwhile, the matrix of cement binder acts a greatly important role in Portland cement-based composites (i.e., pastes, mortars, concrete, stabilized stones, and treated soils). The performance of hardened Portland cement (e.g., mechanical behavior, and durability) is linked tightly with early age chemical hydration and hardening, while the relationships between hydration processes, hydrates produced, microstructures, and mechanical behaviors have been proved in previous studies [2][3][4][5]. In service life of infrastructures, cement-based materials have to be faced with severe environmental conditions, such as super-low temperatures [6][7][8].…”
