The structure of hydrated high-alumina cement, whose use as a building material was highly controversial after several accidents occurred, was now determined to be CaAl2O4⋅7.8 H2O from X-ray powder diffraction data by applying direct methods. A picture of the structure as viewed along the c axis is shown on the right. Citing Literature Volume37, Issue1-2February 2 1998Pages 72-75 RelatedInformation
