Description |
Calculate hydrates for single and blended cement types |
|
Template definition file |
Scope
The template serves to calculate the hydrate assemblages and the pore water concentrations from the definition of cement from the weight percentage of different constituents (OPC and different SCMs), their reaction degree and their oxide composition.
