Hydration Calculation

C3S hydration calculation.

Project Name * All hydration result files will be saved in a folder with this name (under Hydration results).

Step Time (s) Time per step (0.1–10 s). The same time is used for all 5 steps.

Set positive reaction fractions for each step. All 5 rates must be > 0 and their total sum must not exceed 1.

Rate 1

Rate 2

Rate 3

Rate 4

Rate 5

Optional: override the default densities of C3S, water, C-S-H and CH.

C3S density (default 3.15)

C-S-H density (default 2.60)

CH density (default 2.211)

Water H2O density (default 0.9982)

CH Ksp (default 5.5×10⁻⁶) Solubility product Ksp for CH (Ca(OH)₂). Leave blank to use the default value 5.5×10⁻⁶.

Project Name This should be the same name as above. Download/Delete operates on the corresponding Hydration folder.
