Abstract

The early stages of portland cement hydration directly affect the physical properties of cement. Therefore, it is necessary to research the hydration process in the early stages of portland cement. Owning to the cement hydration process includes a large number of chemical and physical changes, researching the cement hydration process faces many difficulties. In this paper, early-age hydration kinetic equation is reverse extracted from cement hydration heat data using gene expression programming (GEP) with similarity weight tournament (SWT) selection operator. The method clever use the cement hydration heat data and the powerful performance of genetic expression programming. In addition, the effectiveness of the proposed method is improved using SWT selection operator. The result shows that the performance of GEP method with SWT selection operator is better than traditional GEP.
