how cement is made ?
Since ancient Greece and Rome, humans have used cement for
construction. However, the process for obtaining this quick-drying gray
paste has changed significantly since those times. The rudimentary
methods of the past are no longer used to handle limestone, but special
machinery is used to generate very fine powders, in quantities never
seen before.
Since the nineteenth century, the industrialization of cement production
has allowed this material to be present in a wide variety of
constructions, and it has also been used for aesthetic and utilitarian
purposes in modern architecture.
what is it for ?
Cement is an essential building material; in fact, it is the most
widely used in the world. Most constructions use it in at least
one of its stages: foundations, floors, lintels, walls, walls or
ceilings.
The main benefit of cement is that it is a resistant and durable
material, low cost and with a wide variety of applications. This
makes it a favorite of architects and construction companies
worldwide.
material
properties
Cement is a hydraulic binder, that is, a finely ground
inorganic material that, when mixed with water, forms a
paste that sets and hardens through hydration reactions
and processes and that, once hardened, retains its
strength and stability even under water.
Among the components of cement are concentrated:
calcium oxide, silicon dioxide, aluminum and iron oxides
and sulfur trioxide (the latter provided by sulfur).
The most relevant properties of cement are: fineness,
fluidity or normal consistency, density, compressive
strength, expansion, setting times and rapid setting.
