THE CHEMISTRY OF CEMENT HYDRATION

TWO QUESTIONS ARE DISCUSSED: FIRSTLY, THE NATURE OF CEMENTING ACTION, AND SECONDLY, WHETHER THE HYDRATION REACTIONS OF CEMENTS OCCUR BY A THROUGH-SOLUTION MECHANISM OR BY THE ALTERATION OF THE SOLID DUE TO SOME SORT OF TOPOCHEMICAL PROCESS. IT REVIEWS SEVERAL OF THE THEORIES OF THE HARDENING PROCESS AND COMMENTS UPON THEM. THE AUTHOR CONCLUDES THAT, IN THE EARLY STAGES OF HYDRATION THERE MUST BE SOME SORT OF THROUGH-SOLUTION MECHANISM. IN THE LATER STAGES, WHEN THE TRANSPORT OF MATERIAL BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT, A TOPOCHEMICAL MECHANISM MAY ALSO OPERATE. /AUTHOR/
