Hydration of tricalcium silicate in the presence of synthetic calcium–silicate–hydrate
Abstract
The early age-hydration of tricalcium silicate, the main chemical compound in Portland cement, was studied in the presence of synthetic calcium silicate hydrate (C–S–H) addition having C/S ratios = 0.8 and 1.2. Isothermal conduction calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and 29Si MAS NMR were employed in order to investigate events occurring during various stages of the hydration. The results that were …
