Abstract: AbstractCalcium formate (CF) is a widely used, chloride-free organic admixture, and yet its effects on the hydration of tricalcium aluminate (C3A), the component in cement that hydrates the fastest, remain incompletely ...

Abstract: AbstractIn this research, the impact of calcium formate (CF) on the hydration process of tricalcium silicate (C3S, the most abundant component in portland cement) was investigated by setting time test, compressive strength ...
