The evolution of rheological properties of cement-based materials during the dormant period of cement hydration depends on the coupled effect of temperature and time. Highly flowable concrete is increasingly being used to facilitate construction. Such concrete should be optimized to account for changes in workability during transport and ...

11. Stages of hydration of C3S (Cont.) Stage-1 :- corresponds to a period of rapid evolution of heat, which ceases within about 15 min. Stage-2 :- corresponds to a dormant period which lasts for several hours during which the hydration is almost at halt. This is the reason why the concrete remains in plastic state for several hours. Stage-3 :- corresponds to acceleration …

In literature, the start point of calculation was the end of dormant period. To simulate the initial period and dormant period, a modified f ξ ξ is proposed here. The modified f ξ ξ describes the hydration process in three stages. The first stage includes the initial period and the dormant period, and the increase of hydration rate marks ...

The workability period covers stage I and part of stage II and it lasts for 1−3 hours [8]. Within this dormant period, the initial concrete set occurs (within 60 minutes) [8]. The final concrete set occurs within the subsequent stage. III. Acceleration or active reaction stage [8].

Early chemical reactions are temperature dependent. Stage 2 - Dormant period - causes cement to remain plastic (2-4 hours). The reaction slows. CH crystallizes from the solution, C-S-H develops on the surface of the C 3 S and forms a coating.

Dormancy: Following the initial reaction, there is a period termed 'dormancy' where the hydration process appears to stall. Despite no visible changes, essential chemical reactions continue at a slower pace.

Especially C–S–H-seeds of low C/S-ratios, which provide large surface areas, have a strong accelerating impact by shortening the dormant period of cement hydration. In our experiments C–S–H-particles of two different commercial available compositions were used, xonotlite (6CaO⋅6SiO 2 ⋅H 2 O) and tobermorite (5CaO⋅6SiO 2 ⋅5H 2 O).

At the end of the dormant period, the alite and belite in the cement start to react, with the formation of calcium silicate hydrate and calcium hydroxide. This corresponds to the main period of hydration (Stage III), during which time concrete strengths increase.

Three-stage microstructure formation in normal cementitious pastes is changed into four stages in mortar and concrete mixtures: an initial rapid UPV increase stage (O→A), which is referred to as "pre-dormant period", then dormant stage, acceleration stage and finally the deceleration stage.

Cement contains four main compounds of silica and alumina which when chemically upended with water, produce some hydration products. ... It is called induction or dormant period. As the hydration proceeds, the hydration products slowly begin to deposit on the original cement grains and make it arduous for water to diffuse into the unhydrated ...

However, in some cases, cement paste may demonstrate thixotropic behavior during the dormant period of cement hydration. The aim of this work is to propose an approach able to quantify the contribution of cement hydration during the dormant period and to examine the conditions under which the cement paste may display thixotropic behavior.

The dormant stage gives the construction crew time to transport, place, and finish the concrete while it is workable. Ready concrete produced with Portland cement has approximately 2 hours of workability.

The dormant period is one of the most important stages because the concrete is still stiff to be in a workable and controllable condition. This phase ends with the initial set of concrete. PHASE 3: Strength Acceleration Period. In the 3rd stage, concrete starts to gain strength as it set into a hard and solid mass.

This is the period at which the fresh concrete is being transported and placed since it has not yet hardened and is still workable (plastic and fluid). The length of the dormant period has been shown to vary depending on multiple factors (cement type, admixtures, w/cm). The end of the dormant period is typically characterised by the initial set.

The offset on time, t o, corresponds with the dormant period of cement hydration. A parametric study on the adiabatic temperature rise model suggested in this paper can provide a clear trend on the exponential model equation in Eq. (11). The dependency on the cement content can be more elaborated by parameterizing the adiabatic temperature rise.

Although the peak occurring time is almost the same for both samples, the dormant period shows slight advancement in the cement type 1 concrete mixture as shown in Fig. 9. The degree of hydration and the rate of heat evolution in a particular concrete mixture are both strongly correlated with the fineness of cementitious materials.
