👉What is Heat of Hydration?
⭐️Heat of hydration is the heat generated by the chemical reaction between cement and water during the hydration process.
⏺This heat can cause a significant increase in temperature within the concrete, potentially leading to thermal cracking.
🏷Factors Affecting Heat of Hydration
🚧1. Cement Type: Different types of cement have varying heat of hydration values.
⏺For example, Type III cement has a higher heat of hydration than Type I cement.
🚧2. Cement Content: Increasing the cement content can increase the heat of hydration.
🚧3. Water-Cement Ratio: A lower water-cement ratio can increase the heat of hydration.
🚧4. Aggregate Type: The type of aggregate used can affect the heat of hydration.
⏺For example, aggregates with high thermal conductivity can increase the heat of hydration.
🚧5. Temperature: Higher temperatures can increase the rate of hydration and heat generation.
