Research Brief: A Reaction-­Diffusion Model to Determine Mesoscale Patterns in Cement Paste

Strength and toughness, two important aspects of the durability of concrete structures, are dramatically influenced by the material’s nanotexture, but the question of how the building blocks of cement paste organize themselves to create this nanotexture is still being answered. Recent modelling effo...
