Cement :

A cement is a binder, a substance that sets and hardens independently,
and can bind other materials together.
Cements used in construction can be characterized as being either
hydraulic or non-hydraulic. Hydraulic cements (e.g., Portland cement)
harden because of hydration, a chemical reaction between the anhydrous
cement powder and water. Thus, they can harden underwater or when
constantly exposed to wet weather. The chemical reaction results in
hydrates that are not very water-soluble and so are quite durable in water.
Non-hydraulic cements do not harden underwater; for example, slaked
limes harden by reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide
The most important uses of cement are as an ingredient in the production
of mortar in masonry, and of concrete, a combination of cement and an
aggregate to form a strong building material.

Types of modern cement[edit source | editbeta]
Portland cement[edit source | editbeta]
Main article: Portland cement
Cement is made by heating limestone (calcium carbonate) with small
quantities of other materials (such as clay) to 1450 °C in a kiln, in a
process known as calcination, whereby a molecule of carbon dioxide is
liberated from the calcium carbonate to form calcium oxide, or quicklime,
which is then blended with the other materials that have been included in
the mix. The resulting hard substance, called 'clinker', is then ground with a
small amount of gypsum into a powder to make 'Ordinary Portland
Cement', the most commonly used type of cement (often referred to as
OPC). Portland cement is a basic ingredient of concrete, mortar and most
non-specialty grout. The most common use for Portland cement is in the
production of concrete. Concrete is a composite material consisting of
aggregate (gravel and sand), cement, and water. As a construction
material, concrete can be cast in almost any shape desired, and once
hardened, can become a structural (load bearing) element. Portland
cement may be grey or white.

Energetically modified cement[edit source | editbeta]
Main article: Energetically modified cement
The grinding process to produce Energetically modified cement (EMC)
yields materials made from pozzolanic minerals that have been treated
using a patented milling process ("EMC Activation").[14] This yields a high-
level replacement of Portland cement in concrete with lower costs,
performance and durability improvements, with significant energy and
carbon dioxide savings.[15] The resultant concretes can have the same, if
not improved, physical characteristics as "normal" concretes, at a fraction
of the cost of using Portland cement.[16]

Portland cement blends[edit source | editbeta]
Portland cement blends are often available as inter-ground mixtures from
cement producers, but similar formulations are often also mixed from the
ground components at the concrete mixing plant.[17] Portland
blastfurnace cement contains up to 70% ground granulated blast furnace
slag, with the rest Portland clinker and a little gypsum. All compositions
produce high ultimate strength, but as slag content is increased, early
strength is reduced, while sulfate resistance increases and heat evolution
diminishes. Used as an economic alternative to Portland sulfate-resisting
and low-heat cements.[18] Portland flyash cement contains up to 35% fly
ash. The fly ash is pozzolanic, so that ultimate strength is maintained.
Because fly ash addition allows a lower concrete water content, early
strength can also be maintained. Where good quality cheap fly ash is
available, this can be an economic alternative to ordinary Portland
cement.[19] Portland pozzolan cement includes fly ash cement, since fly
ash is a pozzolan, but also includes cements made from other natural or
artificial pozzolans. In countries where volcanic ashes are available (e.g.
Italy, Chile, Mexico, the Philippines) these cements are often the most
common form in use. Portland silica fume cement. Addition of silica fume
can yield exceptionally high strengths, and cements containing 5–20%
silica fume are occasionally produced. However, silica fume is more
usually added to Portland cement at the concrete mixer.[20] Masonry
cements are used for preparing bricklaying mortars and stuccos, and must
not be used in concrete. They are usually complex proprietary formulations
containing Portland clinker and a number of other ingredients that may
include limestone, hydrated lime, air entrainers, retarders, waterproofers
and coloring agents. They are formulated to yield workable mortars that
allow rapid and consistent masonry work. Subtle variations of Masonry
cement in the US are Plastic Cements and Stucco Cements. These are
designed to produce controlled bond with masonry blocks. Expansive
cements contain, in addition to Portland clinker, expansive clinkers
(usually sulfoaluminate clinkers), and are designed to offset the effects of
drying shrinkage that is normally encountered with hydraulic cements. This
allows large floor slabs (up to 60 m square) to be prepared without
contraction joints. White blended cements may be made using white
clinker and white supplementary materials such as high-purity metakaolin.
Colored cements are used for decorative purposes. In some standards,
the addition of pigments to produce "colored Portland cement" is allowed.
In other standards (e.g. ASTM), pigments are not allowed constituents of
Portland cement, and colored cements are sold as "blended hydraulic
cements". Very finely ground cements are made from mixtures of
cement with sand or with slag or other pozzolan type minerals that are
extremely finely ground together. Such cements can have the same
physical characteristics as normal cement but with 50% less cement
particularly due to their increased surface area for the chemical reaction.
Even with intensive grinding they can use up to 50% less energy to
fabricate than ordinary Portland cements.[16]

Non-Portland hydraulic cements[edit source | editbeta]
Pozzolan-lime cements. Mixtures of ground pozzolan and lime are the
cements used by the Romans, and can be found in Roman structures still
standing (e.g. the Pantheon in Rome). They develop strength slowly, but
their ultimate strength can be very high. The hydration products that
produce strength are essentially the same as those produced by Portland
cement. Slag-lime cements. Ground granulated blast furnace slag is not
hydraulic on its own, but is "activated" by addition of alkalis, most
economically using lime. They are similar to pozzolan lime cements in their
properties. Only granulated slag (i.e. water-quenched, glassy slag) is
effective as a cement component. Supersulfated cements. These contain
about 80% ground granulated blast furnace slag, 15% gypsum or anhydrite
and a little Portland clinker or lime as an activator. They produce strength
by formation of ettringite, with strength growth similar to a slow Portland
cement. They exhibit good resistance to aggressive agents, including
sulfate. Calcium aluminate cements are hydraulic cements made
primarily from limestone and bauxite. The active ingredients are
monocalcium aluminate CaAl2O4 (CaO · Al2O3 or CA in Cement chemist
notation, CCN) and mayenite Ca12Al14O33 (12 CaO · 7 Al2O3, or C12A7 in
CCN). Strength forms by hydration to calcium aluminate hydrates. They
are well-adapted for use in refractory (high-temperature resistant)
concretes, e.g. for furnace linings. Calcium sulfoaluminate cements are
made from clinkers that include ye'elimite (Ca4(AlO2)6SO4 or C4A3S in
Cement chemist's notation) as a primary phase. They are used in
expansive cements, in ultra-high early strength cements, and in "lowenergy" cements. Hydration produces ettringite, and specialized physical
properties (such as expansion or rapid reaction) are obtained by
adjustment of the availability of calcium and sulfate ions. Their use as a
low-energy alternative to Portland cement has been pioneered in China,
where several million tonnes per year are produced.[21][22] Energy
requirements are lower because of the lower kiln temperatures required for
reaction, and the lower amount of limestone (which must be
endothermically decarbonated) in the mix. In addition, the lower limestone
content and lower fuel consumption leads to a CO2 emission around half
that associated with Portland clinker. However, SO2 emissions are usually
significantly higher. "Natural" cements correspond to certain cements of
the pre-Portland era, produced by burning argillaceous limestones at
moderate temperatures. The level of clay components in the limestone
(around 30–35%) is such that large amounts of belite (the low-early
strength, high-late strength mineral in Portland cement) are formed without
the formation of excessive amounts of free lime. As with any natural
material, such cements have highly variable properties. Geopolymer
cements are made from mixtures of water-soluble alkali metal silicates
and aluminosilicate mineral powders such as fly ash and metakaolin.

Cement acts as the binding agent or glue. A
chemical reaction is triggered called hydration
when water and cement are mixed in the right
proportions. This reaction causes the cement to
harden and bind the aggregate into a solid mass.
The process of hydration is the key to concrete’s
remarkable strength and versatility. When freshly mixed, concrete can
be molded into almost any form. Yet when hardened, its strength and
durability often exceed that of natural stone

Cement

  • 1. Cement : A cement is a binder, a substance that sets and hardens independently, and can bind other materials together. Cements used in construction can be characterized as being either hydraulic or non-hydraulic. Hydraulic cements (e.g., Portland cement) harden because of hydration, a chemical reaction between the anhydrous cement powder and water. Thus, they can harden underwater or when constantly exposed to wet weather. The chemical reaction results in hydrates that are not very water-soluble and so are quite durable in water. Non-hydraulic cements do not harden underwater; for example, slaked limes harden by reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide The most important uses of cement are as an ingredient in the production of mortar in masonry, and of concrete, a combination of cement and an aggregate to form a strong building material. Types of modern cement[edit source | editbeta] Portland cement[edit source | editbeta] Main article: Portland cement Cement is made by heating limestone (calcium carbonate) with small quantities of other materials (such as clay) to 1450 °C in a kiln, in a process known as calcination, whereby a molecule of carbon dioxide is liberated from the calcium carbonate to form calcium oxide, or quicklime, which is then blended with the other materials that have been included in the mix. The resulting hard substance, called 'clinker', is then ground with a small amount of gypsum into a powder to make 'Ordinary Portland Cement', the most commonly used type of cement (often referred to as OPC). Portland cement is a basic ingredient of concrete, mortar and most non-specialty grout. The most common use for Portland cement is in the production of concrete. Concrete is a composite material consisting of aggregate (gravel and sand), cement, and water. As a construction material, concrete can be cast in almost any shape desired, and once hardened, can become a structural (load bearing) element. Portland cement may be grey or white. Energetically modified cement[edit source | editbeta] Main article: Energetically modified cement The grinding process to produce Energetically modified cement (EMC) yields materials made from pozzolanic minerals that have been treated using a patented milling process ("EMC Activation").[14] This yields a high-
  • 2. level replacement of Portland cement in concrete with lower costs, performance and durability improvements, with significant energy and carbon dioxide savings.[15] The resultant concretes can have the same, if not improved, physical characteristics as "normal" concretes, at a fraction of the cost of using Portland cement.[16] Portland cement blends[edit source | editbeta] Portland cement blends are often available as inter-ground mixtures from cement producers, but similar formulations are often also mixed from the ground components at the concrete mixing plant.[17] Portland blastfurnace cement contains up to 70% ground granulated blast furnace slag, with the rest Portland clinker and a little gypsum. All compositions produce high ultimate strength, but as slag content is increased, early strength is reduced, while sulfate resistance increases and heat evolution diminishes. Used as an economic alternative to Portland sulfate-resisting and low-heat cements.[18] Portland flyash cement contains up to 35% fly ash. The fly ash is pozzolanic, so that ultimate strength is maintained. Because fly ash addition allows a lower concrete water content, early strength can also be maintained. Where good quality cheap fly ash is available, this can be an economic alternative to ordinary Portland cement.[19] Portland pozzolan cement includes fly ash cement, since fly ash is a pozzolan, but also includes cements made from other natural or artificial pozzolans. In countries where volcanic ashes are available (e.g. Italy, Chile, Mexico, the Philippines) these cements are often the most common form in use. Portland silica fume cement. Addition of silica fume can yield exceptionally high strengths, and cements containing 5–20% silica fume are occasionally produced. However, silica fume is more usually added to Portland cement at the concrete mixer.[20] Masonry cements are used for preparing bricklaying mortars and stuccos, and must not be used in concrete. They are usually complex proprietary formulations containing Portland clinker and a number of other ingredients that may include limestone, hydrated lime, air entrainers, retarders, waterproofers and coloring agents. They are formulated to yield workable mortars that allow rapid and consistent masonry work. Subtle variations of Masonry cement in the US are Plastic Cements and Stucco Cements. These are designed to produce controlled bond with masonry blocks. Expansive cements contain, in addition to Portland clinker, expansive clinkers (usually sulfoaluminate clinkers), and are designed to offset the effects of drying shrinkage that is normally encountered with hydraulic cements. This allows large floor slabs (up to 60 m square) to be prepared without contraction joints. White blended cements may be made using white clinker and white supplementary materials such as high-purity metakaolin. Colored cements are used for decorative purposes. In some standards,
  • 3. the addition of pigments to produce "colored Portland cement" is allowed. In other standards (e.g. ASTM), pigments are not allowed constituents of Portland cement, and colored cements are sold as "blended hydraulic cements". Very finely ground cements are made from mixtures of cement with sand or with slag or other pozzolan type minerals that are extremely finely ground together. Such cements can have the same physical characteristics as normal cement but with 50% less cement particularly due to their increased surface area for the chemical reaction. Even with intensive grinding they can use up to 50% less energy to fabricate than ordinary Portland cements.[16] Non-Portland hydraulic cements[edit source | editbeta] Pozzolan-lime cements. Mixtures of ground pozzolan and lime are the cements used by the Romans, and can be found in Roman structures still standing (e.g. the Pantheon in Rome). They develop strength slowly, but their ultimate strength can be very high. The hydration products that produce strength are essentially the same as those produced by Portland cement. Slag-lime cements. Ground granulated blast furnace slag is not hydraulic on its own, but is "activated" by addition of alkalis, most economically using lime. They are similar to pozzolan lime cements in their properties. Only granulated slag (i.e. water-quenched, glassy slag) is effective as a cement component. Supersulfated cements. These contain about 80% ground granulated blast furnace slag, 15% gypsum or anhydrite and a little Portland clinker or lime as an activator. They produce strength by formation of ettringite, with strength growth similar to a slow Portland cement. They exhibit good resistance to aggressive agents, including sulfate. Calcium aluminate cements are hydraulic cements made primarily from limestone and bauxite. The active ingredients are monocalcium aluminate CaAl2O4 (CaO · Al2O3 or CA in Cement chemist notation, CCN) and mayenite Ca12Al14O33 (12 CaO · 7 Al2O3, or C12A7 in CCN). Strength forms by hydration to calcium aluminate hydrates. They are well-adapted for use in refractory (high-temperature resistant) concretes, e.g. for furnace linings. Calcium sulfoaluminate cements are made from clinkers that include ye'elimite (Ca4(AlO2)6SO4 or C4A3S in Cement chemist's notation) as a primary phase. They are used in expansive cements, in ultra-high early strength cements, and in "lowenergy" cements. Hydration produces ettringite, and specialized physical properties (such as expansion or rapid reaction) are obtained by adjustment of the availability of calcium and sulfate ions. Their use as a low-energy alternative to Portland cement has been pioneered in China, where several million tonnes per year are produced.[21][22] Energy requirements are lower because of the lower kiln temperatures required for reaction, and the lower amount of limestone (which must be
  • 4. endothermically decarbonated) in the mix. In addition, the lower limestone content and lower fuel consumption leads to a CO2 emission around half that associated with Portland clinker. However, SO2 emissions are usually significantly higher. "Natural" cements correspond to certain cements of the pre-Portland era, produced by burning argillaceous limestones at moderate temperatures. The level of clay components in the limestone (around 30–35%) is such that large amounts of belite (the low-early strength, high-late strength mineral in Portland cement) are formed without the formation of excessive amounts of free lime. As with any natural material, such cements have highly variable properties. Geopolymer cements are made from mixtures of water-soluble alkali metal silicates and aluminosilicate mineral powders such as fly ash and metakaolin. http://www.openairclassroom.org.uk/Further%20information/informationlime.pdf http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/onlcourse/chm110/outlines/limestone.html http://www.ehow.com/info_8347113_different-typeslimestone.html?ref=Track2&utm_source=ask

A chemical reaction is triggered called hydration when water and cement are mixed in the right proportions. This reaction causes the cement to harden and bind the aggregate into a solid mass. The process of hydration is the key to concrete’s remarkable strength and versatility. When freshly mixed, concrete can be molded into almost any form. Yet when hardened, its strength and durability often exceed that of natural stone  building (floors, beams, columns, roofing, piles, bricks, mortar, panels, plaster)  transport (roads, pathways, crossings, bridges, sleepers, viaducts, tunnels, stabilization, runways, parking)  water (pipes, culverts, kerbing, drains, canals, weirs, dams, tanks, pools)  civil (piers, docks, retaining walls, silos, warehousing, poles, pylons, fencing)  agriculture (buildings, processing, housing, feedlots, irrigation) new refrances : http://www.transtutors.com/homework-help/civil-engineering/cement/functionsof-ingredients-of-cement.aspx http://www.cement.org/smreport09/images/shared_images/SustainReport08.pdf http://www.buildeazy.com/newplans/eazylist/cement.html
