Hydraulic cements and non-hydraulic cements
What are the principal constituents of any hydraulic cement?
Compounds of Ca (calcareous) and compounds of Al + Si (Argillaceous)
How many classes can hydraulic cements be classified into?
Four classes
What is natural cement obtained from?
Naturally occurring argillaceous limestone
What are the properties of natural cement?
Quick setting and relatively low strength
Match the following types of inorganic cements with their properties:
Hydraulic cements = Property of setting and hardening under water Non-hydraulic cements = Capable of hardening in air Natural cement = Quick setting and relatively low strength Puzzolana cement = Materials which, when mixed with lime, form hydraulic cementing materials without the use of heat
Match the following constituents with their role in hydraulic cement:
Compounds of Ca = Principal constituents of hydraulic cement Compounds of Al + Si = Principal constituents of hydraulic cement Silica and alumina = Combine with CaO to form calcium silicates and aluminates Clay containing CaCO3 = Used in the production of natural cement
Match the following classifications of hydraulic cement with their description:
Natural cement = Obtained by calcining naturally occurring argillaceous limestone at high temperature and grinding the calcined mass Puzzolana cement = Materials which, when mixed with lime, form hydraulic cementing materials without the use of heat Slag cement = Type of hydraulic cement used for constructional purposes Portland cement = Type of hydraulic cement obtained by combining certain materials without the use of heat
