Abstract
Based on conceptual models for the stages in the hydration of tricalcium silicate, a mathematical model was developed. The separate resistances in the mathematical model correspond to the phenomenological stages of the conceptual model. Comparison of model output with available hydration data gave a reasonable fit between the model and the data.
