Abstract

In this study about the early hydration of monoclinic alite, a method is presented that allows to follow the formation of the Calcium-Silicate-Hydrates directly and quantitatively over time. The combination of the PONKCS method [20] and the G-factor method [6] allowed the refinement and calibration of a C-S-H phase model which can be used for direct quantification of C-S-H in cementitious pastes. The comparison between the heat flow measured by calorimetry and the heat flow calculated from the phase development of C-S-H revealed that C-S-H formation starts later than is indicated by the measured heat flow. It is therefore assumed that the silicate reaction proceeds the following way: A not XRD-detectable C-S-H phase is precipitated which then evolves into a long-range ordered, XRD-detectable C-S-H. This C-S-H acts as a nucleation site for further long-range ordered C-S-H and leads to the acceleration of alite dissolution and direct formation of C-S-H. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
