Description:: A study is conducted to determine the effects on the early hydration kinetics and compressive strength by seeding of Portland cement and alkali-activated blast furnace slag with a pure form of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H). The effects of C-S-H seeding during the early nucleation and growth period of each type...

Description:: The objective of this program is to measure the changes in the properties of the C-S-H gel phase in cement paste as a function of the Ca/Si ratio. The motivation is to better understand the hydration products that form in blended cements with lower Ca/Si ratios than portland cement. The...
