The hydration reaction of the following substances were examined from the quantitative viewpoint : P-CSA (free lime-C
4AF-anhydrite type expansive additive), combination of P-CSA, C
3A and gypsum, combination of P-CSA and alite. In the hydration reaction of P-CSA, free lime reacts abruptly with water in the initial stage to form calcium hydroxide, and later C
4AF and anhydrite react gradually to form ettringite. In the hydration reaction of C
3A-gypsum-P-CSA system, the reaction ratio of C
3A was relatively small in the initial stage of hydration but rapidly increased during 3 to 7 days of reaction period. The reaction ratio of gypsum and anhydrite showed a high value i the initial stage. As a result, although the mole ratio of SO
3/Al
2O
3 in the starting composition of the system showed a similar value to the theoretical value of monosulfate, the mole ratio of SO
3/Al
2O
3 increased in the initial stage of reaction, and ettringite was formed. It is inferred that P-CSA realizes expansion by generating a large quantity of ettringite utilizing the reaction of C
3A in cement, in combination with the reaction to generate calcium hydroxide from free lime in the expansive additive.
