Assessment of Heat of Hydration of High-Strength Concrete

Download book PDF. Download book EPUB. S ... Since cement hydration is an exothermic process, the low conductivity of concrete leads to an accumulation of heat in the core of the structure. Therefore, a huge temperature gradient will propagate and cause crucial internal cracking. Even though the propagation of thermal cracks is inevitable, it ...

Heat of Hydration for Cements TRB01

The heat of hydration of hydraulic cements results from the complex sets of phase dissolution and precipitation activity accompanying the addition of water to a cement. Heat of hydration is currently measured in one of two ways: 1) through an acid dissolution of the raw cement and a hydrated cement after seven days, or 2) isothermal calorimetry.
