Abstract
The influence of different mineralogy of fillers on the hydration rate of Portland cement was studied. The results showed that minerals containing calcium particularly affect the hydration behaviour. Calcite and wollastonite tended to reduce the length of the induction period, and calcite appeared to increase the hydration rate during the acceleratory period. Anorthite increased the third major heat peak. Quartz, potassium feldspar, and soda feldspar influenced the hydration behaviour to a much lesser degree than the Ca-bearing minerals.
