• The growing dependence of values of RDI-1-3.15 with higher contents of magnetite is easily seen and it is in a good agreement with the results of studies of influence of FeO content (Fe2+ recalculated to oxide) on values of RDI-1-3.15 as

• The reverse tendency can be observed for dicalcium silicates and also for slag phases. The increasing content of these minerals is accompanied with lowering values of RDI-1-3.15. It can be correlated with basicity values – the Ca2+ atoms
