As far as I know, the Moore and Taylor structure is still relavent for
ettringite. There is also a recent Rietveld structure refinement of
ettringite by R. Berliner (R. Berliner, "The Structure of Ettringite" in
Materials Science of Concrete: The Sydney Diamond Symposium, M. Cohen, S.
Mindess, and J. Skalny, eds. (1998) 127-141).
