Influence of Glass Powder on Hydration Kinetics of Composite Cementitious Materials

الملخص EN

The influence of glass powder (GP) on hydration kinetics of composite cementitious materials has been investigated by isothermal calorimetry test and hydration kinetics methods in this paper.

The hydration heat emission rate and hydration heat decrease gradually while the induction and acceleration period increase with the increase of GP content.

According to Krstulovic-Dabic model, the hydration process of composite cementitious materials containing GP is controlled by a variety of complicated reaction mechanisms, which can be divided into three periods: nucleation and crystal growth (NG), phase boundary reaction (I), and diffusion (D).

The NG and I process are shortened after incorporating GP.
