The low dissolution of magnesium oxide (MgO) limits the performance of carbonated reactive magnesium oxide cement (RMC)-based formulations. The initial acceleration of hydration (IAH) of RMC samples involving the use of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) (SBC) was enabled by way of the adjustment of curing...
