Abstract:
This report summarizes information about the various types of commercially hydraulic cements. Cement chemistry is reviewed, and the influence of admixtures and the environment on cement is discussed. The main part of the report covers the influence of cement on the properties of concrete. Cement storage and delivery, and the sampling and testing of hydraulic cements for conformance to specifications are reviewed briefly.
