False-setting is when cement abnormally and prematurely sets.
yes, if it is before the initial setting time...
It's the time from which cement starts the setting process after water is added.. Usually it is 30 min.. It can be delayed or advanced using chemicals..
It is not rain forced but re-inforced cement concrete. It means the concrete after setting and hardening.
An arbitrary division has been made for the setting time of cement as initial setting time and final setting time.It is difficult to draw a rigid line between these two arbitrary divisions.For convenience,initial setting time is regarded as the time elapsed between the moment that the water is added to the cement,to the time that the paste starts losing its plasticity.The final setting time is the time elapsed between the moment that the water is added to the cement ,and the time when the paste has completely lost its plasticity and has attained sufficient firmness to resist certain definite pressure.
Please note that a key correction in terminology is essential before your question can be answered: use the word "concrete" instead of "cement." The answer is to modify your mix (i.e. Portland cement, sand, gravel, and water) by using hydraulic cement to repace part of the Portland cement. The higher the amount of hydraulic cement you add, the quicker the setting time and the impermeability. However, hydraulic cement sets so quickly that you have limit the amount of total mix so as to be able to pour it and form it before it sets.
yes I'm also little confused ..
gypsum increase the setting time of cement.
because when we know the setting time of cement we easily identified that where can we use the cement according to there setting time.
yes, if it is before the initial setting time...
3% of gypsum is added to cement to "prevent the rapid setting of cement"
how the water mixed with cement affects the time of its setting
because when we know the setting time of cement we easily identified that where can we use the cement according to there setting time.
Gypsum is added to cement to decrease the setting time.

initialy setting time up to 10min. & final setting time upto 10 hours
does this cement satisfy ASTM standard requirements for normal consistency
