This paper focusses on the evolution of the heat of hydration of hardening concrete or cement based materials. Based on isothermal and adiabatic hydration tests a new general hydration model is developed, valid both for portland cement and blast furnace slag cement. This hydration model enables the

β¦ Synopsis
Methods for determining the codtent of blast furnace slag (BFS) in blended cements composed of BFS and OPC have been briefly reviewed. A variety of dissolution orocedures were investigated and the results compared critically.
Extractions with methanol-salicyclic and/or acetic acid show that these solvents attack the BFS but fail to dissolve certain components of the cement which have been identified by X-ray diffraction.
A recent method involving EDTA solvent extraction appeared more promising and additional work was undertaken to verify and improve it.
The method was used to determine BFS content of blended cements hydrated for periods up to 12 months.

X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) was used to determine the variation of the characteristic ratios Ca/Si, Al/Si and Mg/Si of two different slags (one in granulated, the other in pelletized form) during hydration. The results show that the slag surface is modified as soon as it becomes in contac
The hydration behaviour of a 1:1 mixture (by mass) of 'Secar 71' refractory aluminous cement and ground granulated blast furnace slag has been studied over a range of temperature using conduction calorimetry, x-ray diffraction and thermal analysis techniques. The initial hydration of the cement pro
This research was devoted to the study of the influence of the developed al~ali-silicate admixture (AS admixture) on mortar properties. The obtained results shown j that the admixture significantly increased the strength of the mortars made from portland cement (PC) and silica fume (SF) or blast fur
## Abstract One method proposed for utilisation of highβmagnesia Portland cements involves the addition of active siliceous admixtures such as fly ash or ground granulated blastfurnace slag. This addition enables otherwise unsound cements to pass the ASTM autoclave test (C151β74a) for expansion of
The objective of this study is the characterization of slags from different sources by their chemical composition, glass content, rate and total heat of hydration and compressive strength development with a vlew to establish a relationship between some of their properties and compressive strength.
