Hydration of cements with additives of silica-containing materials

A study was made of hydration of mixed cements including Portland cement clinker and some silica-containing materials. Differences were identified in the processes of hydration and strength growth of cement stone depending on the type of additive. The differences are interpreted as a consequence of different degrees of ordering in the additives’ structure and the chemical activity related to it.
