You are starting an experiment with a new cement clinker composition known as “newcem”. It appears to be very similar in nature to conventional ordinary portland cement. You are asked to determine how much of the „newcem” has reacted at 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 28 days, and 365 days. Describe two test methods that you may use to determine the extent of cement hydration. Provide some detail on the basic method used to conduct the test. List any advantages or disadvantages.
