The dry ingredients of cement are stored in air-conditioned silos until needed. Once mixed, the wet mixture is stored in tanks with agitators to keep it moving, so as to stop it setting.

How long are cement chutes on cement trucks?
Normally about 1-2 meters each. Most trucks have 2 on the back and 2 stored somewhere else on the truck.
What is the difference between concrete mortar and cement paste?
Cement paste is formed when cement is mixed with water. However, cement mortar is formed when cement is mixed with fine aggregate (sand) and water.The strength of cement mortar is more when compared to cement paste.Shrinkage will be less in cement mortar and high in cement paste.

What is a cement factory?

Why should cement be stored in dry conditions?
common sense..
How is cement stored on a construction site?
Dry cement in bags is stored in a dry place protected from the weather. For large construction sites this is usually a secure storage area. If you are talking about mixed cement (wet) or concrete, then it is not stored on a construction site. It is mixed off-site and carried to the site in large "cement mixer" trucks. The it is placed (or poured) prior to the initial setting time specified by the concrete manufacturer.
Why must cement be stored on a raised platform?
Cement appear to be kinda hygroscopic. Probably to prevent a cold moist floor/lower platform on the ground of the water/moisture to be absorbed by the cement and caking(?).

What device transforms stored chemical energy into heat energy?
A few devices that convert stored chemical energy into heat energy include: -- matches -- batteries -- candles -- cement mixers
How many bags of cement can be stored in warehouse of effective plan area 54sqm if the maximum height of piles permitted is 270cm?
1000
What precautions should be taken for storage of cement?
Packed Cement must be stored in a safe and stable manner, in unopened bags, clear of the ground, in cool dry conditions and protected from excessive draught. Bulk Cement must be stored in silos that are waterproof, clean and protected from contamination, dry (internal condensation minimised) with stock rotated in chronological order of the despatch dates marked on delivery documents. To prevent burial or suffocation, do not enter a confined space, such as a silo, bin, bulk truck or other storage container or vessel that stores or contains cement without taking the proper safety measures. Cement can buildup or adhere to the walls of a confined space. The cement can release, collapse or fall unexpectedly.
Does the strength of cement decrease if it is stored for a long time?
I assume you mean concrete which is a mixture of cement and coarse aggregate stone that has cured properly. There are many factors wich can reduce the strength of concrete over time but if the sample has been stored in an appropriate manner away from detrimental environmental influences the concrete should not weaken much over hundreds of years.
Is it easier to run on grass or cement?

Why shouldn't cement be on a bare floor?
Cement is a material that hardens when it is mixed with water. To keep it in good condition, in its powdered form before you mix it, you should keep it as dry as possible. A bare floor (that is, a bare concrete floor, or even worse, a bare earthen floor) can get cold, and if it gets cold there can be condensation, or dew. That moisture can then seep slowly into your bag of cement (which is usually stored in a paper bag that is not waterproof) and cause the cement to harden.
How long can you store cement without using it?
Portland cement can be stored indefinitely provided it is not exposed to moisture. Most cement bags have a thin plastic lining to protect it from humidity, not rain, and is only meant to be temporary. Therefore, you should plan to use the cement product from an unopened, weather protected bag in weeks, not months. When the bag is overexposed it will result in "dead" cement, because it has already begun the chemical reaction with water, and reveals itself by hardening and clumping. Throw that bag away, it's dead.
