Triisopropanolamine (TIPA) is one of the commonly used components of cement grinding aids. At present, TIPA has studied the strength and hydration properties of Portland cement and Portland cement containing fine limestone particles. However, TIPA's research on the hydration mechanism of limestone portland cement and its effect on the micro structure of Portland cement and limestone portland cement hardened paste is not comprehensive enough. Therefore, this paper focuses on the experimental research on the strength, hydration process and micro structure of hardened slurry of Portland cement and limestone Portland cement.
