    International audienceA multi-scale homogenization approach coupled with a hydration model is adopted to predict the bulk and shear moduli evolution of an oilwell cement paste at a very early age (up to one day). Calorimetric experiments were performed to be compared with the results of the kinetics model and also to study the pressure and temperature effects on the hydration kinetics. The homogenization model results are in agreement with the elastic moduli measurements obtained from propagation of ultrasonic waves
