   Theoretical Basis and Hydration Kinetics
   The primary function of water in a cementitious system is twofold: to facilitate the necessary flow characteristics (workability) required for placement, and, critically, to initiate and sustain the chemical process of hydration. Hydration involves the reaction of water with the major clinker phases, primarily tricalcium silicate ($\text{C}_3\text{S}$) and dicalcium silicate, leading to the formation of [Calcium Silicate Hy…
