Summary Evidence on the mechanism and products of tricalcium silicate hydration is summarized, and present-day interpretations of that evidence critically discussed, partly with a view to supplying a basis for mathematical modeling of the hydration process. There is general agreement on many, broad features of the reaction and its products, and it should be possible to express many of the proposed hypotheses in mathematical form. Uncertainties nevertheless remain about many questions that are of essential importance if kinetic equations based on an unequivocal understanding of the mechanism are to be formulated. The paper concludes with a list of these questions.
