Classification of Cement: - Tushar A. Wamanse Msc-I, Sem-Ii Roll No 22

This document classifies and describes different types of cement. It discusses natural cement, pozzolana cement, slag cement, and portland cement. Portland cement is the most common type and is produced by burning limestone and clay at high temperatures. The document also covers special types of cement like rapid hardening cement, quick setting cement, low heat cement, high alumina cement, air entraining cement, and white cement. Each type has specific chemical compositions and uses.

Classification Of Cement

-Tushar A. Wamanse
MSc-I, SEM-II Roll No 22
What is cement ?
• A cement is a binder, a substance that sets
and hardens independently, and can bind
other materials together.
CLASSIFICATION OF CEMENT

• Natural Cement
• Pozzolana Cement
• Slag Cement
• Portland Cement
Natural cement
• it is also known as Roman cement.
• it is developed by James Parker in the 1780 .
 
Pozzolana Cement
• pozzolanic materials like fly ash, volcanic ash,
pumicite etc.
• A Pozzolan is any material which in the
presence of lime and water will react
hydraulically to form a cemented mass
Contains pozzolanic materials of 10-95% by
weight.
Slag Cement
• Mixture of blast furnace slag (Ca and Al
Silicates) and hydrated lime.
• Chemical Constituent GGBS
CaO 40%
SiO2 35%
AI2O3 10%
MgO 8%
Portland cement
• a product obtained by intimately mixing
together calcareous and argillaceous, or other
silica, alumina, and iron oxide-bearing
materials, burning them at a clinkering
temperature and grinding the resulting clinker.
• In 1824 Joseph Aspdin
• product resembled the colour of the stones
from Portland, England.
COMPOSITION OF PORTLAND CEMENT

• Lime                                                   CaO                            60-67%
• Silica                                                   SiO2                            17-25%
• Alumina                                            Al2O3                                    03-08%
• Iron Oxide                                         Fe2O3                          0.5-06%
• Magnesia                                           MgO                           0.1-04%
• Soda & Potash                                  Na2O & K2O              0.2-01%
• Sulfur Trioxide                                 SO3                                        01-2.75%
• Free Lime                                          CaO                            00-01%
• Gypsum 01 to 04%
Main Compounds of Portland Cement
TYPES OF CEMENT

• Sulphate Resisting Cement


• Rapid Hardening Cement (or) High Early Strength
cement
• Quick Setting Cement
• Low Heat Cement
• High Alumina Cement
• Air Entraining Cement
• White Cement
SULPHATE RESISTING CEMENT
• It is modified form of O.P.C
• contains a low percentage of C3A (not more
than 05%.)
• It develops strength slowly, but ultimately it is
as strong as O.P.C.
RAPID HARDENING CEMENT
• This cement is used in highway slabs which are
to be opened for traffic quickly.
• This cement contains more percentage of C3S
and less percentage of C2S.
• manufactured by adding calcium chloride
(CaCl2) to the O.P.C (not more than 02%.)
QUICK SETTING CEMENT
• When concrete is to be laid under water, quick
setting cement is to used.
• manufactured by adding small percentage of
aluminum sulphate (Al2SO4)
• it becomes stone hard in less than half an
hour.
LOW HEAT CEMENT
• In this cement the heat of hydration is
reduced by tricalcium aluminate (C3A )
content.
• less percentage of lime than OPC
• 0.1 to 15 %wt. of an added material selected
from the group consisting of OPC such as
gypsum, sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate,
potassium hydroxide, and mixtures.
HIGH ALUMINA CEMENT
• This cement contains high aluminate
percentage usually between 35-55%. It gains
strength very rapidly with in 24 hours.
• used for construction of dams and other
heavy structures.
AIR ENTRAINING CEMENT
• It produce to resistance to weathering actions
and particularly to the action of frost.
• entrainment of air or gas bubbles while
applying cement
• produced by grinding minute air entraining
materials with clinker
• Natural resins, fats, oils are used as air
entraining agents.
WHITE CEMENT
• it is also called as ‘snowcrete’.
• iron oxide gives the grey colour
• Lime stone and china clay
• Fe2O3, Mn2O3,Cr2O3,MgO
• This cement is costlier than O.P.C.
• It is mainly used for architectural finishing in
the buildings.
