Best Answer

Sulphate resisting cement:

  1. Low C3A Content
  2. Low C4AF content
  3. Ca(OH)2 + SO2 ---> CaSO3 + H2O
  4. In the above equation water is evolved, so hydration process is continuous in SRC

How is chemistry used in construction?

I'm a 16 year old boy trying my best to solve u r problem.If it doesn't satisfy you please forgive me. The importance of chemistry in cons....on of buildings are:- *According to chemistry, the rusted iron is not strong enough to hold tons of weight. It minimizes the strength of the building. So we have to select the fresh iron or non-rusted iron. *Here, during cons....on cement is used to make wall of concrete along with bricks. Cement is mixed with sand & gravel in equal proportion and poured to the building in right places the house gains the life 100 years or more. Cemented or concreted building or house is resistant to earthquakes and is strong. Cement is very quick setting polymer. So one cannot cement a single foot of wall in seconds. So to do the job we need chemistry. That is adding gypsum to the cement while manufacturing, the contents of gypsum reducing the setting rate of cement and the job can be done easily.*Curing:-This may be a familiar word to you. It means watering the cement oftenly (3-4 times a day) is good for the building. Because the more the cement is watered the cement absorbs and becomes stronger & stronger. When the RCC material is poured from the next day it should watered for about 21-30 days to become strong. This can be known through chemistry. *A building made of cement should not be painted black because, cement is absorber of sun's heat & black absorbs all sun's radiations. So naturally the house becomes warmer. So to know all these we need knowledge of chemistry. So chemistry is very important during cons....on of buildings. If there are any gramatical mistake or mistake in answer please forgive this little chinya. If u have any questions please ask me i will try to clarify it & gain more knowledge from your questions Signing offBye-Bye
