Which consequence results when rapid hydration of calcium aluminate cements induces a premature phase transition?

💡 Explanation

Rapid hydration forms unstable hydrates that then convert via phase transition (conversion) to weaker forms, because this process reduces the cohesive forces between cement particles. Therefore, the structural integrity reduces, rather than it improving other physical properties.
