What is suitable for reinforced cement concrete slab ordinary portland cement or Portland Pozzolana Cement?
Ordinary Portland cement is suitable. As per IRC 21, Portland Pozzolana Cement is limited for Plain Concrete only.
When was cement invented?
In 1824, Joseph Aspdin, a bricklayer and mason in Leeds, England, took out a patent on a hydraulic cement that he called portland cement because its color resembled the stone quarried on the Isle of Portland off the British coast. Aspdin's method involved the careful proportioning of limestone and clay, pulverizing them, and burning the mixture into clinker, which was then ground into finished cement.
Difference between ordinary Portland cement and puzzalona Portland cement?
OPC - Ordinary Portland cementOPC - Materials used - Argillaceous and calcareous materialsPPC - Portland Pozzolona CementPPC - OPC + Pozzolonoc materials(fly ash, volcanic ash, pumicite at the time of grinding).
Why is limestone good for making cement?
Limestone is made up of calcium oxide which is the key ingredient to make cement. The limestone is mixed in with a particular clay to get the cement mixture.
How is limestone put in cement?
Limestone is crushed and baked at high temperatures to produce the main ingredient for Portland cement.
What rock is needed to make cement?
Limestone is refined to make portland cement.
Why is cement called Portland cement?
In 1824 Joseph Aspdin, a British stonemason, obtained a patent for a cement he produced in his kitchen. The inventor heated a mixture of finely ground limestone and clay on his kitchen stove and ground the mixture together into a powder to create a hydraulic cement-one that hardens with the addition of water. He named the product Portland cement because it resembled a stone quarried on the Isle of Portland, off the British coast. With this invention, Aspdin laid the foundation for today's Portland cement industry.
What kind of rocks are in Portland cement?
Kinds of portland cement:Type - 1 - Ordinary portland cementType - 2 - Portland pozzolana cementType - 3 - Rapid hardening cementType - 4 - Low heat cementType - 5 - Sulphate resisting cement.

How is limestone used in cement?
Limestone has greater strength and better bonding capacity.Limestome is crushed in to fine particles in the preparation of cementLimestone is the major constituent in cement of about 60-67%.
Is cement a rock?
From the Portland Cement Association:Bricklayer Joseph Aspdin of Leeds, England first made portland cement early in the 19th century by burning powdered limestone and clay in his kitchen stove. By this crude method he laid the foundation for an industry which annually processes literally mountains of limestone, clay, cement rock, and other materials into a powder so fine it will pass through a sieve capable of holding water. Cement is so fine that one pound of cement contains 150 billion grains.So, I think you could say that cement is a rock (limestone) derivative.
Is portland cement natural or man made?
It is man made. The basic ingredients are limestone and clay which are roasted in a kiln.
Why cement can hard?
Concrete has Portland cement in it. Portland cement is finely ground limestone that is baked until there is no water in it at all. After concrete is poured, the water in it starts chemically combining with the Portland cement, slowly turning it back into limestone . . . sort of. After 3 days, the concrete is hard enough to use . . . walking on or driving on with a light car, but it takes 28 days for concrete to harden to its full rated strength so it is usable in building, bridges, and so on.
How is cement formed from limestone?
cement is formed from limestone by combustion of limestone ( heating of the limestone)!
What are the various types of Ordinary Portland Cement?
The various types of ordinary portland cement are,Ordinary portland cement 33 gradeOrdinary portland cement 43 gradeOrdinary portland cement 53 grade
What is cement color?
The colour of cement is Grey.The grey colour is due to the presence of iron oxide.The coloured cement consists of portland cement with 5-10% pigment.White cement - pure limestone + china claychromium oxide - greencobalt - blue
