Hard synchrotron X-ray microdiffraction is used to quantify the orientation distribution of ettringite crystals [Ca6Al2(OH)12(SO4)3·26H2O], which cause cracking and loss of strength in concrete structures.

Monoclinic crystals can be described in two settings: in the first setting the C2 rotation axis is parallel to the z axis and in the second setting it is parallel to the y axis. This article gives explicit transformations that need to be applied for texture analysis and for calculations of physical properties of materials with preferred orientation.
