CEMENT

Presentation by

CEMENT
• A cement is a binder, a substance used for construction that sets, hardens,
and adheres to other materials to bind them together.
• Setting and hardening result from hydration, which is a chemical
combination of the cement compounds with water.

 USES OF CEMENTS
• Rapid Hardening Cement: Where formwork is required to be removed early
for re-use elsewhere
• Sulphates Resisting Cement: Concrete to be used in foundation and basement,
where soil is infested with sulphates
• Quick setting cement: For concreting in static or running water.
• Low Heat Cement: mass concrete construction like gravity dams
• High Alumina Cement: is used in works where concrete is subjected to high
temperatures, frost, and acidic action.
• Portland pozzolana cement: Marine Structures, sewage works
• White Cement: architectural purposes, interior and exterior decorative
work
• Hydrophobic cement: water structures such dams, water tanks, spillways,
water retaining structures etc.
• Rediset Cement: Precast buildings or industries
 PROBLEMS
• The main environmental issues associated with cement production are
consumption of raw materials and energy use as well as emissions to air.
• Cement can cause ill health by skin contact, eye contact, or inhalation
• Shrinkage may causes crack development and strength loss.
• At end of life, concrete can be crushed and recycled but the recycled
material cannot be used for new building concrete. Therefore, the scrap
value of concrete is almost nil.
 SOLUTION
• Use of Steel structure has been increasing globally.
• The cement plant should be isolated from Residential area
• Protective devices must be used while dealing with Cements
 CONCLUSION
• Despite many problems, Cement is largely used all over the world
• Different method of precaution should be applied while dealing with
cement
• Standard fixed by different codes like IS, BS, NBC should be followed
strictly.
• For different condition, Different type of cemnent with appropriate
properties must be used.
