Hydration of concrete

X-Y Wang and H-S Lee, Modeling the hydration of concrete incorporating fly ash or slag. Cement and Concrete Research, in press 2010. 

The hydration of concrete has been investigated using NMR spectroscopy. H NMR spectroscopy has been used to determine the surface area of cement pastes. H Ti measurements have been made on hydrating cement pastes. ... 

Figure 2.30. An actual adiabatic calorimeter for measuring heat of hydration of concrete. For the measurement a sample quantity of 4-5 t of concrete is used, and the measurement is typically carried out over 24 to 48 hours.
