This is due to the exothermic process in the reaction between cement and water (called hydration). Measuring the concrete temperature over time enables you to know how far the concrete is in the hydration process (Concrete Maturity) and thereby also an estimated concrete strength. The hydration process is divided into five phases:

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, a chemical reaction happens between cement and water, this reaction is called hydration of cement.

Precipitation of during cement hydration can cause false or even flash setting. Calcium sulfates. Gypsum is added to the cement primarily to retard the hydration of the aluminate and ferrite phases. The effectiveness of the gypsum depends on the rate at which the relevant ionic species dissolve and come in contact with each other.

The reduction of activation energy with temperature may suggest reduced energy barrier of the chemical reaction, or a change of rate controlling mechanism from nucleation and growth (NG) control to dissolution control. Thomas et al. has proposed NG control process of cement hydration has a higher activation energy than dissolution control [52].

This is due to the increase in porosity (space between particles) that is created with the hydration process. Most concrete is made with a water to cement mass ratio ranging from 0.35 to 0.6. Aggregate is the solid particles that are bound together by the cement paste to create the synthetic rock known as concrete. Aggregates can be fine, such ...

The hydration process of Portland cement can be monitored by calorimetric method, in which the hydration process is reflected by hydration heat evolution behavior. Typical Portland cement hydration heat release rate curve can be divided into five stages: (A) initial reaction period, (B) induction period, (C) acceleration period, (D ...

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 strength and …

Cement paste was prepared at a w/c ratio of 0.29 containing the superplasticizer dosages (SCS 0.35% bwoc, PCs 0.2% bwoc). Figure 7.9 depicts the hydration heat–time curves, showing the effect of SCS and PCs on the cement hydration process. The results indicated that SCS can obviously delay the occurrence of hydration heat and make the rate of the production of …
