What is Hydration of Cement ? Civil Engineering Notes
During hydration of cement, C3S and C2S react with water and calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) is formed along with calcium hydroxide Ca (OH)2. 2 C3S + 6H C3S2H3 + 3 Ca (OH)2 2 C2S + 4H C3S2H3 + Ca (OH)2 Calcium silicate hydrate is one of the most important product of hydration process and it determines the good properties of cement.
