    Cement is made from lime, silica, alumina, and iron oxide. It is composed of compounds like tricalcium silicate, dicalcium silicate, tricalcium aluminate, and tetra-calcium alumino-ferrite. Common types of cement include rapid hardening cement, extra rapid hardening cement, sulphate resisting cement, and Portland slag cement. When water is added to cement powder, hydration reactions occur, causing the mixture to set and develop strength over time. For cement to be considered sound, the percentage of free lime and magnesia must be within specified limits to prevent unequal expansion during hardening.

    CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY

    1. What are the constituents of cement? Ans: a) Lime b) Silica c) Alumina d) Iron oxide 2. What are the compounds of cement Ans: Tricalcium Silicate C3S, Dicalcium Silicate C2S, Tricalcium Aluminate C3A, Tetra-calcium Alumino-ferrite C4AF 3. Write 4 types of cements used in normal life? Ans: Rapid Hardening Cement, Extra Rapid Hardening Cement, Sulphate Resisting Cement, Portland Slag Cement 4. What is Hydration of cement? Ans: The addition of water to dry cement powder results in a thin cement slurry that can be easily manipulated and cast into different shapes. In time, the slurry sets and develops strength through a series of hydration reactions 5. What is soundness of cement? The cement is said to be sound when the percentage of free lime and magnesia is with in specified limits. These materials expand in the structure and thus the concrete or mortar also expand, causing unequal expansion of paste. 6. Define fine modulus Ans:
