An Ideal Solid Solution Model for C-S-H

Published

Author(s)

Jeffrey W. Bullard, George W. Scherer

Abstract

A model for an ideal solid solution, developed by Nourtier-Mazauric et al. [Oil & Gas Sci. Tech. Rev. IFP, 60 [2] (2005) 401], is applied to calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H). Fitting the model to solubility data for C-S-H yields reasonable values for the compositions of the end-members of the solid solution, and for their equilibrium constants. This model will be useful for modeling the hydration kinetics of Portland cement, because it predicts the calcium/silica ratio of the product that forms as the composition of the aqueous solution varies with time.
