Effect of Temperature on Hydration Performance of Portland Cement

Abstract:

The mechanical strength change trend of Portland cement at different temperatures (+5°C, 0°C,-5°C,-10°C) was researched, and hydration performance and slurry structure of Portland cement was studied. Results showed that hydration process of Portland cement didn't vary with the lowering of curing temperature, but each stage of hydration time extended. The temperature decrease prolonged formation time of hydration products, making the early microstructure to loose, produces more pores, and causes the early mechanical strength of Portland cement to decrease.
