Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to one of the most important structural materials: ceramic materials. For that reason, this chapter is mainly connected with several phase diagrams: CaO–MgO, CaO–SiO2, SiO2–Al2O3, CaO–Al2O3, and CaO–Al2O3–SiO2, which define most ceramic materials. Cement is particularly important in this group of structural materials. The most relevant properties of ceramic materials, i.e., their thermal-shock resistance and their resistance at high temperature, are also described in this chapter.
