Interpretation of the Early Hydration Procedure of Standard Cement Materials by Electrodeless Resistivity Method

Abstract:

In this paper, the early hydration procedure of standard cement materials is tested and analysized with electrodeless resistivity method. The experimental results show that for standard cement material, the early hydration procedure can be divided into 4 stages: dissolution period, setting period, acceleration period and deceleration period, respectively. Moreover, the characteristic point according the experimental data can be defined to determined stage in the hydration procedure, and be related with the key parameters for cement materials in hydration procedure, such as water/cement ratio. The electrodeless resistivity method can be used to predict the hydration behavior, especially early hydration behavior of cement as a new measurement technology.
