Portland Cement is made by baking limestone to remove the carbonate, and to this is added some gypsum (to provide sulphate) and diatomaceous earth (effectively a very finely divided silica).
When curing, many complex chemicals are formed, the crystals of which give cement its strength. Silicates, sulphates, and carbonates.

What are the chemical and physical properties of cement?
Three varieties of the strength of cement are measured – compressive, tensile, and flexural. Several factors affect the strength, such as water-cement ratio, cement-fine aggregate ratio, curing conditions, size and shape of a specimen, the manner of molding and mixing, loading conditions, and age. I hope it will assist you.
