What is cement hydration?

This is due to the exothermic process in the reaction between cement and water (called hydration).

The hydration process is divided into five phases:

1. Introduction. Cement hydration is a complex process, as cements normally consist of several anhydrous phases that react at different rates, forming different hydrates [1, 2].Together the hydrates make up the cement paste, a porous material that grows into the water-filled spaces between the solids (cement and aggregate grains) as …

Assessment of Heat of Hydration of High-Strength Concrete

Since cement hydration is an exothermic process, the low conductivity of concrete leads to an accumulation of heat in the core of the structure.
