Abstract

C-S-H gels-the main cement hydration product, have an important impact on the properties of cement and caused a wide range of study on it. Simulation technology of molecular dynamics is summarized, the basic principles of molecular dynamics and simulation of molecular dynamics of C-S-H gels are introduced, and development trend about simulation of molecular dynamics of C-S-H gel is finally predicted in this paper. It is designed to provide information and ideas to academics engage in computer simulation of cement-based materials.
