Cement minerals propertiesC3S
- hydrates and hardens rapidly - responsible for initial set and early strength
C2S- hydrates and hardens slowly - responsible for later strength increase - low hydration heat
C3A- hydrates and hardens the quickest- a large amount of heat - important in sulphate corrosion of concrete
C4AF- contributes little to strength- color effects
