1H low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) as a non-destructive test method can effectively capture the water state changes in cement pastes. The water changes can in turn reflect the early hydration characteristics of cement pastes. Hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC) with different viscosit...
