Abstract
A multicell isoperibolic — semiadiabatic calorimeter was used for the measurement of temperature and the determination of the hydration heat evolution at earlier period of cement pastes setting and hardening. The measurements were aimed at the determination of the effect of superplasticizers (SPs) on the course of the Portland cement hydration. Commercial polycarboxylate SP was added to the mixtures and the heat effect was measured. With the increasing content of SP, the hydration temperature increased up to a certain value and then decreased. In case of a sufficient amount of water in the mixture to achieve complete hydration of cement, samples with the highest values of the maximum hydration temperature reached the highest values of the released total heat. If there is not a sufficient amount of water to achieve complete hydration, the samples with the highest values of the maximum hydration temperature reach the lowest values of the released total heat.
