Cement-based materials (CBMs) such as paste, mortar and concrete are the most dominant construction materials of structures. They are highly alkaline, with a pH in the range of 12.0 to 13.5, due to Ca(OH)2 contents (portlandite). The strength-gaining rate and hardening process of CBMs under normal c...
