It is a common modeling practice to assume a representative clinker grain size close to the median particle size of the anhydrous cement regardless of hydration stage, see e.g. [9], [10], [11]; however, such assumption lacks support from experimental measurements and may even lead to obtaining unrealistic material failure modes in numerical simulations.

The results show that with the increase of grinding time, the particle size distribution of cement tends to move towards small particle size, and the specific surface area and water consumption of standard consistency increase, and the setting time is shortened. When the cement particles were ground to 40 min, the increase of grinding time had ...
