1. PORTLAND CEMENT :
Five types of Portland cements exist:
• Type I Portland cement is known as common
or general-purpose cement. It is generally
assumed unless another type is specified. It is
commonly used for general construction,
especially when making precast, and precast-
prestressed concrete that is not to be in contact
with soils or ground water. The typical
compound compositions of this type are:
• 55% (C3S), 19% (C2S), 10% (C3A), 7%
(C4AF), 2.8% MgO, 2.9% (SO3), 1.0%, and
1.0% free CaO.
• Type II provides moderate sulfate
resistance, and gives off less heat
during hydration. This type of
cement costs about the same as
type I. Its typical compound
composition is:
• 51% (C3S), 24% (C2S), 6% (C3A),
11% (C4AF), 2.9% MgO, 2.5%
(SO3), 0.8% ignition loss, and
1.0% free CaO.
This type is for general construction
exposed to moderate sulfate attack
• Type III has relatively high early strength. Its typical compound
composition is: 57% (C3S), 19% (C2S), 10% (C3A), 7% (C4AF), 3.0% MgO,
3.1% (SO3), 0.9% ignition loss, and 1.3% free CaO. This cement is similar
to type I, but ground finer.
• Type IV Portland cement is generally known for its low heat of hydration. Its typical
compound composition is: 28% (C3S), 49% (C2S), 4% (C3A), 12% (C4AF), 1.8%
MgO, 1.9% (SO3), 0.9% ignition loss, and 0.8% free CaO. 
The strength of the concrete develops slowly. After one or two years the strength is
higher than the other types after full curing. This cement is used for very large concrete
structures, such as dams, which have a low surface to volume ratio. 

• Type V is used where sulfate resistance is important. This type is used in concrete to be
exposed to alkali soil and ground water sulfates which react with (C3A) causing
disruptive expansion. 
 2. STEEL BARS : KAMDHENU TMT Bars

• Mild steel is very cheap as compared to stainless steel mainly

due to cost of Nickel and Chromium. Mild-steel price should be
around 50-60 Rs/kg whereas SS304 can cost around 250-300
Rs/kg.

• There are 9 grades in TMT Bar. However, commonly used

grades are - Fe - 415, Fe- 500 & Fe- 550 and their D grade
also. Fe- 550 is the strongest among the three. Kamdhenu has
the credit of manufacturing Fe - 550 grade Bar first time in India.
These three grades of Kamdhenu Bar come at 8 mm to 25 mm
range, 28 & 32mm range also
• So , the price list of kamdhenu TMT bars for
12mm Bar:~ 48500 cubic tone(GST included)
8mm Bar:~ 51000 cubic tone(GST included)
• The length of bar is 12.5 m.
12mm 6 pieces= 1bundle(packaging details)
8mm 12pieces= 1bundle
• Estimation of cost of one bar:
1. 12mm (48.5 rs./kg) : mass of 1
bar(12.5m)=10kg+/_200gm ~485 rs.
2. 8mm(51rs./kg): mass of 1
bar(12.5m)=4.8kg. ~245 rs.
3. Coarse and fine aggregate :
• Fine aggregates generally consist
of natural sand or crushed stone
with most particles passing through
a 3/8-inch sieve.
•  Coarse aggregates are any
particles greater than 0.19 inch, but
generally range between 3/8 and
1.5 inches in diameter.
• The aggregate serves as reinforcement
to add strength to the overall composite
material.
