Abstract
As an essential preliminary to understand the hydration of wood-cement comp osites, the effects of some additives on the delayed setting due to wood of an Ordinary Portland Cement have been investigated by isothermal calorimet ry. With the addition of calcium chloride and activated charcoal, an increa se of 50 % of the total enthalpy is observed in wood-cement composites hydr ation, because calcium chloride mostly influences aluminate phases and acti vated charcoal silicate phases.
