Cement when mixed with sufficient quantity of water,the compounds present in cement reacts with water to form a cementitious crystalline structure that adheres to the sand and aggregates.This helps in binding the mass together and increases its strength till it becomes very hard.This is called hardening of cement.

What is rain forced cement concrete?
It is not rain forced but re-inforced cement concrete. It means the concrete after setting and hardening.
Is concrete cement solid?
no..it will be in liquid state and after it reaches its settling time, concrete starts hardening and finally to solid state...
The difference between setting and hardening in cement?
SettingSetting begins to occur after the concrete is mixed and even before pouring. The cement in the concrete begins to stiffen after mixed with water. The concrete is beginning to change from liquid form to solid form. During the setting process, the concrete does gain strength, which is the beginning of the hardening process. When the water ingredient is added to the concrete mix, the concrete is still pliable and flexible, sort of a paste. There is two stages of setting: initial and final setting. Initial setting is when the concrete loses it flexibility and begins to harden. Final setting is when the concrete can sustain some load, but still has some moisture within the mixture.HardeningHardening of the concrete is the stage when the mixture gains strength. The cement ingredient begins to attach itself to the aggregate as the water dries off the mixture. The hydration of water is what starts the hardening process. It generally takes five to seven days for the concrete to complete the hardening process. The easiest way to increase the strength of concrete is to add cement to the mixture. The more water used in the mixture, the weaker the concrete and it will also delay the hardening process. Once the concrete has hydrated all the water from the mixture, the hardening process is complete and the concrete is as strong as it will get.
What is the name of chemical for improve compressive strength and fast hardening of hollow bricks?
Concrete
What is the difference between the setting and hardening of concrete?
Setting indicate the beginning of stiffening of concrete ,in this case the concrete has not any strength and any cracks if occur can be re unit the concrete in this state just like a dough bread afar setting the concrete stiff and become hard and get strength and any cracks if happen cant be re unit

What are facts about concrete?
It is heavy. After it dries, it is hard. Actually, drying is not directly linked to hardness in concrete. After concrete is poured, putting it in a wet environment by spraying it constantly with water will hasten its hardening and its curing. After concrete cures, it is hard.

What is the main use of anchor bolts in construction?
Anchor bolts are used to secure items to concrete. They can be wet-set meaning inserted into the concrete while it is still hardening or the concrete can be drilled and the anchors set in to them.
What is the effect of hydration on strength of a concrete?
Excess water (over hydration) causes weak concrete. The water in concrete is there to start a chemical process which results in the hardening process. The excess water is not used in the chemical process and results in a weakened concrete.
What is the meaning of formwork in civil engineering?
Formwork is used for the shaping of concrete structures to aid in the hardening phase of conrete.
How does the fineness affect the time of setting?
Setting begins to occur after the concrete is mixed and even before pouring. The cement in the concrete begins to stiffen after mixed with water. The concrete is beginning to change from liquid form to solid form. During the setting process, the concrete does gain strength, which is the beginning of the hardening process.

Initial setting is when the concrete loses it flexibility and begins to harden. Final setting is when the concrete can sustain some load, but still has some moisture within the mixture. Hardening
What type of hardening is done to lathe bed?
mostly is the hardening done by induction hardening machine, I know also manufactures that do this using the flame hardening method.
