silicates ( Ca2SiO4); 51% tricalcium silicates (Ca3SiO5); and 11% tricalcium aluminate (Ca3Al2O6). When water is added‚ a number of complex hydration reactions take place. A typical idealized reaction can be represented as 2 Ca2SiO4(s) + 4 H2O(l) Ca3Si2O7. 3H2O(s) + Ca(OH)2(s). The hydrated silicate‚ called tobermorite gel‚ forms strong crystals that adhere by means of strong silicon-Oxygen bonds to the sand and aggregate (small rocks) that are mixed with the cement.
