For Portland cement, the typical silica content is around 20-25%. To calculate the amount of silica for 42 pounds of Portland cement, you would take 20-25% of that weight. This means you would need approximately 8.4 to 10.5 pounds of silica.

What are the effects of silica flour in portland cement and what is the best ratio?

Hydrated Portland cement undergoes a slow phase transition above 230°F in which the calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gel phase reacts with calcium hydroxide and is transformed into crystalline dicalcium silicate hydrate (α-C2SH) which is much weaker. Presence of silica flour can adjust the phase transformations and inhibit this strength reduction and the associated increase in permeability that occurs in set cement.

How heavy is a bag of cement?

From the largest manufacturer of backaged Portland Cement, bags come in 92.5 lb bags. To be clear, cement is mixed with sand and often aggregate (pea-gravel up to much larger rocks or other things such as broken out concrete chunks) to make concrete. Portland Cement by itself has no structural integrity when mixed with water. It must be mixed with sand at a minimum to make a hard, useful product (concrete). Concrete comes in bags weighing 50, 60, and 80 pounds here in the US.From the largest manufacturer of backaged Portland Cement, bags come in 92.5 lb bags.

What is sulphur concrete?

Ordinary portland cement based concrete consists of a mixture of aggregates bound together with portland cement. In the presence of water a chemical reaction takes place and the portland cement is hydolysed. At the end of this chemical reaction the cement becomes hard and binds the aggregate particles together.Sulphur concrete is composed of a similar mixture of aggregates, however, and this is the big difference, there is no portland cement involved. Instead the aggregate mixture is bound together by molten sulphur at elevated temperatures. Upon placing, the sulphur concrete is allowed to cool and as it cools the molten sulphur becomes a solid again binding the aggregates together imparting rigidity to the concrete mix.Because sulphur concrete contains no alkaline materials, unlike portland cement mixtures, it is very much more resistant to acid attack and thus finds favour in industry where acid resistant concrete is desirable.
