Campbell D.H. Microscopical Examination and Interpretation of Portland Cement and Clinker

Second Edition. Portland Cement Association, 1999.
214. ISBN:0893120847Many reports concerning raw feed, clinker, and cement microscopy have been published since the first edition of this book in 1986. Most of the publications are in the annual Reviews of the General Meetings of the Japanese Cement Association (JCA), the monthly journal of Zement-Kalk-Gips (ZKG), the Proceedings of the International Cement Microscopy Association (ICMA), and a few other journals.Thus considerable space, describing some of the salient results of research that have application to or involve microscopy, is required to bring the revised edition of this book up to date. Selected information from these publications has been inserted into the relevant contexts throughout the second edition. Time and the requirements of other projects, unfortunately, have not permitted a review of all the available literature and, regrettably, some probably very informative articles have been unintentionally omitted.
