Retarders for Concrete
In this article we discuss about the mechanism of retardation, types of retarders, effect of retarders on concrete properties and advantages. Mechanisms of Retardation. Adding a retarder, dissolved in the mixing water or sprayed on the surface of the concrete, temporarily interrupts the hydration reactions, which creates a longer dormant period.

Stage 2 - Dormant period - causes cement to remain plastic (2-4 hours). The reaction slows. CH crystallizes from the solution, C-S-H develops on the surface of the C3S and forms a coating. As the thickness increases, the time it takes water to penetrate the coating increases, thus the rate of reaction becomes diffusion controlled.

Cement hydration
Stage 1: Pre-induction. Stage 2: "Dormant" (induction) period. Stage 3: Acceleration. Stage 4: Deceleration. Stage 5: Steady state. In cementing operations, the most important of these are Stages 1 through 3. Stage 1 dictates the initial mixability of the cement, and is attributed primarily to the aluminate and ferrite phase reactions.

How to monitor the modulus of elasticity of concrete, automatically
Monitoring the evolution of an early age set of parameters on concrete is necessary to predict the early age behaviour of structures. The difficulty lies in the fact that this monitoring must be automatic because the concrete hardening process takes place over a long period after the casting. This paper presents a new methodology and an …

Types of Admixtures
When water is first added to cement there is a rapid initial hydration reaction, after which there is little formation of further hydrates for typically 2–3 hours. The exact time depends mainly on the cement type and the temperature. This is called the dormant period when the concrete is plastic and can be placed.

Controlling cement hydration with nanoparticles
The evolution of hydration heat of white cement with added xonotlite nanoparticles is shown in Fig. 3. The acceleration period starts approx. 90 min after mixing and is unaffected by the addition of the particles. However a significant heat flow occurs in the "dormant" period at larger dosages of C–S–H-particles.

This quiescent, or dormant, period is extremely important in the placement of concrete. Without a dormant period there would be no cement trucks; pouring would have to be done immediately upon mixing.
