The chemical reaction which takes place between cement and water is known as hydration of cement. This reaction is exothermic in nature, which means heat is released during the reaction, and the evolved heat is called as heat of hydration. Typically, cement produces 89-90cal/gm of heat in 7 days and 90-100cal/gm in 28 days.

Cement is a hydraulic binder; it consists of a finely ground inorganic material which forms a paste when mixed with water, is able to set and harden because of numerous exothermic hydration reactions (and processes), and is thus capable of binding fragments of solid matter to form a compact whole solid [1,2,3].After hardening, cement retains its …

Part 4. Hydration of Portland Cement. Chemistry of Hydration - It is assumed that each compound hydrates independently of others in Portland cement. This is not completely true because interaction between hydrating compounds will affect the mix. Calcium Silicates - The hydration reaction of the two calcium silicates, which make up the largest ...

It is a series of chemical reactions that occurs when water and hydraulic cement come in contact. When water and cement are combined into cement paste, most of the cement grains immediately begin to dissolve, which initiates the hydration process. The reactions produce numerous new compounds, and as more cement hydrates, …

Portland cement hydration reactions are so highly exothermal that they heat the cement paste. Heat develops rapidly during setting and initial hardening and gradually declines and finally stabilises as hydration slows. Hence, 50% of the heat is generated in the first 3 days and 80% in the first 7 (Soria, 1980).

In order to look closely at hydration process, it is imperative to look at clinker constituents of cement as they play a major role in hydration reaction. Here are following major phases of cement clinker. 1. Tri-calcium Silicate ( C3S ) Tri-calcium silicate also known as Alite is the principal phase of ordinary portland cement.

When Portland cement (clinker with gypsum) is mixed with water the hydration of the different components at early times can be written as: C 3 S + 5.3H → C 1.7 SH 4 + 1.3CH.

To implement this model, Kondo et al.

The layer dissolves or becomes more permeable with time leading to an accelerating rate. As …

Hydration of C 3 A. As C 3 A is the most reactive phase in cement, its role in (very) early hydration is important and concerns both mechanical properties as well as rheological performances. In the absence of sulfates, C 3 A reacts quickly with water and leads to a rapid and unintended setting called "flash set.".
