Standard test methods, such as ASTM C 186, are used to measure the heat of hydration in hydraulic cement. Key Takeaways: The heat of hydration refers to the heat generated when water and portland cement react in concrete. Factors such as cement composition, water-cement ratio, fineness, and curing temperature influence the heat of hydration.

A common practice is to use a superplasticizer in combination with a water-reducing retarder. The superplasticizer improves the concrete's workability at low water-cement ratios, resulting in greater strength. Meanwhile, the water-reducing retarder slows down the cement hydration process, giving workers more time to place the concrete.
