Analysis of the hydration reaction of the Portland cement composition based on the hydration equation

Abstract

Using the expanded Tomosawa theory, we simulated the experimental values of the hydration reaction of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) compositions and chose the hydration parameters for each component. Furthermore, we compared the superposition of the simulated data of the components and the measured values of the hydration reaction of the OPC. There was a good agreement between the superposition of the simulation data and experimental data of the OPC.
