Análisis del proceso de hidratación del cemento de una marca de cemento ecuatoriana.

Abstract

The research consists of the analysis of the cement TYPE GU or TYPE I during the hydration of the same in mortar samples completing this study with physical tests on concrete samples. First, aggregate and cement characterization tests were carried out in order to obtain a dosage for concrete cylinders, whose theoretical resistance was proposed to be 210 kg/cm2. Compressive strength, indirect traction and permeability tests were performed on these specimens at ages of 7, 14 and 56 days. While the cubes made with mortar have a standardized dosage since 20-30 sand or silica sand is used; The compression test is carried out on these cubes whose purpose is to obtain their resistance, the hydration of said samples is stopped so that when they reach the ages of 7, 14 and 56 days, the Rx diffraction test can be carried out, which allows the study itself, of the cement hydration, since with the graphs obtained from the test (diffractograms) it can be concluded in which moment of hydration more quantity of characteristic hydrated compounds is produced in a sample of mortar and the reason for its resistance to its different
