The concrete mix is an important factor for achieving good quality in slipformed construction. Some parameters of the concrete mix (setting time, slump, etc.) should be reviewed, but there is no special concrete required for general slipforming. A typical 'pump mix' with 3 to 4 in. of slump is mostly adequate.

In cementing operations, the most important of these are Stages 1 through 3. Stage 1 dictates the initial mixability of the cement, and is attributed primarily to the aluminate and ferrite phase reactions. Stage 2 relates to the pumpability time, while Stage 3 gives an indication on setting properties and gel-strength development.

In simple words the process involved in setting of cement is "hydration". In more elaborate sense, after addition of water to cement, the hydration process occurs in two steps - Dissolution : the cement particles which are highly soluble starts to dissolve in the water and forms various ions in the water.

Hydration of Cement The Chemical reaction that takes place between cement and water is called as hydration of cement. This reacion is exothermic in nature, due to which considerable amount of heat is released during hydration of cement. This is called as 'heat of hydration'. The hydration of cement is not a sudden process.

The Setting Process. At a fundamental level, concrete is made by combining water, cement and aggregate. The water and cement first bind together in a chemical process known as hydration, eventually creating a tough mass. This mass then adheres to the aggregate contained in the mixture, and concrete is formed.

The clinker is cooled, ground, and mixed with a small amount of gypsum (which regulates setting) to produce the general-purpose portland cement. Water is the key ingredient, which when mixed with cement, forms a paste that binds the aggregate together. The water causes the hardening of concrete through a process called hydration.

The concrete continues to harden over several months. Hardening is not a drying process and can very well take place in water. Heat speeds up the setting and hardening of cement, and cold slows it down and can even completely stop the processes.
