Effects of Ambient Humidity on Water Migration and Hydrate Change in Early-Age Hardened Cement Paste
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The work, or rather some paragraphs, should be thoroughly changed. There are many understatements, there are no descriptions, many things are unclear and incomprehensible. The work needs to be arranged.
Additional research would also be required.
