This study shows a hydration model for cement–hwangtoh blends and evaluates the various properties of hwangtoh-blended concrete using reaction degrees of binders. First, a kinetic reaction model is proposed …
Impact of chemical admixtures on cement hydration
Many chemical admixtures are known to retard cement hydration. This is an intentional effect of retarders. However, for many other admixtures such as superplasticizers, it is mostly an undesired side effect that becomes more and more problematic in modern concrete with reduced clinker content. In this chapter, the general …
Cement degree of hydration in mortar and concrete
Properties of concrete depend on the cement degree of hydration. Standard test methods proposed for quantifying cement degree of hydration employ thermogravimetric (TG) analysis which can be problematic when aggregates are added. This study aims to quantify the variances in the cement degree of hydration in mortar and concrete by …

How to manage heat of hydration in concrete
Post cooling. Circulating cold water through a pipe network embedded in the concrete is one of the oldest methods continuing to reduce the peak hydration temperature. Temperature and required flow rate will depend on the total heat generated in the concrete. We use 1m × 1m × 1m spacing between the pipes and 15°C to 20°C water temperature ...

The ex situ freeze-dry sample preparation involves quenching of hydrated cement with liquid nitrogen, followed by water removal in a vacuum. The detailed procedure and DR-FTIR measurements employed have been described elsewhere. 8, 9 For the in situ ATR measurements, approximately 2 g of paste were placed on the diamond crystal of …
What are the 5 Stages of Cement Hydration Process
Without adding water in concrete cement cannot bond to aggregates. It gains its cementing properties when we add water to the dry cement mixture. After adding water to cement, …
Mechanisms of cement hydration
The current state of knowledge of cement hydration mechanisms is reviewed, including the origin of the period of slow reaction in alite and cement, the nature of the …
Advances in understanding hydration of Portland cement
Abstract. Progress in understanding hydration is summarized. Evidence supports the geochemistry dissolution theory as an explanation for the induction period, in preference to the inhibiting layer theory. The growth of C–S–H is the principal factor controlling the main heat evolution peak. Electron microscopy indicates that C–S–H ...
Strength gain monitoring and construction quality
1. Introduction. Different from the normal concrete in dry conditions, the UWC is a kind of concrete mixture that generally mixes with additional anti-washout and viscosity-modified admixtures, and that can dramatically improve the cohesiveness of the mixture [1].With the advantages of low dispersibility, high compressive strength, and excellent …
Hydration and strength development in blended cement with …
Their studies show that the ultrafine materials exhibit higher reac-tivity, and the compressive strength development of blended cement pastes is mainly depen-dent on the fineness instead of milling duration. Previous studies investigating utilization of copper slag in cement and concrete focus on the materials with fineness ranging from 0.3–0.7

Concrete Discoloration: The Complete Guide
Dilute it well, and be sure to wet the concrete before you apply it. Scrubbing would be helpful, and you should let it dry afterward. A more powerful option used only for major discoloration is diammonium citrate. Diammonium Citrate is a salt compound used to buff. When placed on your concrete, leave it for 15 minutes.
Advances in understanding cement hydration mechanisms
Progress in understanding hydration mechanisms of alite and Portland cement is reviewed. Up to the end of the induction period, dissolution rates determined by the undersaturation of the solution dominate the reaction, but, better understanding is needed about the alite solution interface.The main heat evolution peak hydration is dominated by …

Concrete Discoloration: Drying Different Colors or Spotty
A frequent reason behind a darkened-concrete appearance is the addition of calcium chloride to accelerate the setting time of concrete (see Photo 1), especially when calcium chloride dosages approach 2% by weight of cement. Inadequate mixing after addition of calcium chloride makes the concrete color even more irregular or blotchy.
