Abstract

This paper presents 29Si magic‐angle‐spinning nuclear magnetic resonance measurements that trace the cement hydration process in cement paste and mortar specimens made from ordinary portland cement, type I. These specimens were moist‐cured for 3, 7, 14, and 28/31 d at temperatures ranging from 21° to 80°C. Compressive strength for all tested specimens was also determined. The results show that the degree of hydration (Q1+Q2) and the compressive strength increase with curing times and temperatures. However, at 80°C, the compressive strength decreases while the degree of hydration increases.
