Property Analysis of Slag Composite Concrete Using a Kinetic–Thermodynamic Hydration Model

Slag is increasingly unitized for the production of sustainable concrete. This paper presents a procedure with which to analyze property development slag composite Experimental studies hydration heat and compressive strength simulation using kinetic model thermodynamic were performed. First, we performed an experimental study isothermal cement–slag blends. Based on results cumulative heat, reaction degree was determined. We found that decreased as content increased. Second, cement used input parameters Gibbs energy minimization (GEM) equilibrium model. Moreover, phase assemblage hydrating The trends calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) are similar those strength. CSH content, hardening blends In addition, hydroxide (CH) resulting from shows good agreement results. summary, integrated kinetic–thermodynamic useful analyzing properties
