The origins and evolution of cement hydration models
Our ability to predict hydration behavior is becoming increasingly relevant to the concrete community as modelers begin to link material performance to the dynamics of material properties and chemistry. At early ages, the properties of concrete are changing rapidly due to chemical transformations that affect mechanical, thermal and transport …

Mechanisms of cement hydration
In this study, the heat of hydration (with degree of hydration) of cement and char-cement grouts at 5, 23, and 35 °C are investigated. This study reveals that incorporating char into the cement grout enhances its degree of hydration at temperatures ranging from 5 to 35 °C, highlighting the potential advantages of using coal char in …
Mechanisms of cement hydration
The physical consequences of cement hydration were discussed in Chapter 3 (Aïtcin, 2016). In this chapter, the chemical background knowledge of cement hydration is presented so that it will be easier to understand the modification of cement hydration when using concrete admixtures (Marchon and Flatt, 2016), as discussed in Chapter 12.

Heat of Hydration for Cements TRB01
The heat of hydration of hydraulic cements results from the complex sets of phase dissolution and precipitation activity accompanying the addition of water to a cement. Heat of hydration is currently measured in one of two ways: 1) through an acid dissolution of the raw cement and a hydrated cement after seven days, or 2) isothermal calorimetry.
