This paper presents the results obtained using the Langavant Calorimeter method on portland cements with different addition materials that are commonly used in the manufacture of commercial cements. The effects of these materials on the hydration heat with respect to a control cement were studied.

✦ Synopsis
This work presents the relationship that exists between pozzolanic activity in certain materials (opaline rocks, fly ash and silica fume) and hydration heat, measured using the Langavant calorimeter method. Pozzolanic activity is evaluated using an accelerated method that establishes the reaction speed of the different materials considered. While replacement of part of the cement in a mortar or concrete typically reduces the overall heat of hydration, it is shown that, compared to a control cement, silica fume and opaline rock mixes with cement give increased heat output during early hydration. This is due to their rapid and strong limepozzolanic reaction. The much less reactive fly ash decreased early heat output, compared to the control cement. a good correlation of between pozzolanic activity and hydration heat found.
