Abstract

The effect of temperature on the progress of hydration and cement paste structure and properties was studied using four laboratory-synthesized portland cements, hydrated at temperatures between 5 and 95°C for up to 90 days. In addition to an accelerated progress of hydration, elevated temperatures altered the phase composition and pore structure of the resulting hydrated material. Below 75°C the effect of temperature on the intrinsic bond properties of the hydrates formed remained negligible.
