Abstract

The hydration kinetics of C3S pastes can be easily evaluated by DTA using the most intense and reversible transition of C3S. Some modifications are proposed to Ramachandran's method concerning the measurement of this effect, the weight of the sample used for each experiment and the heating rate. The results of the hydration degree versus times of C3S agree reasonably with those reported by Ramachandran, while still better agreement is observed with those of Locher who used X-ray quantitative analysis.
