Cement degree of hydration in mortar and concrete
Abstract
Properties of concrete depend on the cement degree of hydration. Standard test methods proposed for quantifying cement degree of hydration employ thermogravimetric (TG) analysis which can be problematic when aggregates are added. This study aims to quantify the variances in the cement degree of hydration in mortar and concrete by comparing TG results to isothermal calorimetry. For the TG, 3 hydration models were considered; model A uses …
