Abstract

The initial hydration of C 3S was found to be stimulated by adding to the paste prehydrated C 3S and by lowering the Ca ++ concentration of the liquid phase with oxalic acid. An addition of crystalline calcium hydroxide did not alter the duration of the induction period. Based on these findings the origin of the induction period in C 3S hydration is discussed.
