AB In-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful tool to assess the hydration of cementitious materials, providingtime-resolved quantitative analysis with reasonable accuracy without disturbing sample. However, the lack ofguidelines and well-established procedures for data collection and analysis is the limiting factor for spreadingthis technique. This paper discussed using in-situ laboratory XRD to assess cement hydration. The first part wasdedicated to a literature review on the topic. Then, experimental strategies were discussed, and recommendationsrelated to the data analysis routine were drawn; the advantages and limitations of this technique were alsodiscussed. We can conclude that the critical factors for a successful analysis are the choice of an adequateexperimental setup with good statistics and low measurement time, the proper consideration of differentamorphous contributions in the XRD pattern, and a good data analysis routine. Independent techniques arehighly recommended to support the in-situ XRD data.
