TLDR
In this article, the initial hydration of C3S was found to be stimulated by adding to the paste pre-hydrated C 3S and by lowering the Ca++ concentration of the liquid phase with oxalic acid.

Mechanisms of cement hydration

TL;DR: The current state of knowledge of cement hydration mechanisms is reviewed, including the origin of the period of slow reaction in alite and cement, the nature of the acceleration period, the role of calcium sulfate in modifying the reaction rate of tricalcium aluminate, the interactions of silicates and aluminates, and the kinetics of the deceleration period as mentioned in this paper.

Dissolution theory applied to the induction period in alite hydration

TL;DR: The early hydration of alite has been a subject of controversy for many decades and several theories have been proposed, principally the formation of a protective phase inhibiting dissolution or delayed nucleation and growth, but none have successfully taken into account all the experimental data available as discussed by the authors.

Characterization and quantification of self-healing behaviors of microcracks due to further hydration in cement paste

TL;DR: In this paper, the physicochemical process and the potential of self-healing due to further hydration are characterized and quantified, and the formation of healing products as a function of time was quantified as well.

The chemistry of cement and concrete

TL;DR: The chemistry of cement and concrete as discussed by the authors, The chemistry of concrete and its properties, and the relationship between concrete and cement, is a classic example of such an approach. But it is not suitable for outdoor use.

Influence of silica on the hydration of 3 CaO,SiO2

TL;DR: Amorphous silica accelerates the hydration rate of 3CaO,SiO2 in Portland cement pastes by lowering calcium and hydroxyl-ion concentrations during the first minutes of hydration.

Early Hydration of Tricalcium Silicate

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the hydration of tricalcium silicate (C3S) in preacceleration stages and found that C3S particles carry a positive charge during the early stages of hydration.

Kinetics of the Hydration of Tricalcium Silicate

TL;DR: In this paper, the hydration of tricalcium silicate was followed at a water/C3S ratio of 0.7 between 5° and 50°C by determining free lime and combined water.
