Types of Cement

Cement is a fine mixture of limestone, chalk, or marl and clay which when mixed with water, becomes compacted due to the formation of strong molecular bonds. Due to hydration, cement turns into a hard mass when left for a sufficient amount of time upon mixing with water. The water turns the cement compounds into gel-like submicroscopic particles having higher surface areas. It is due to the hydration properties of cement, they are often known as hydraulic cement. For instance, Portland cement is a popular example in this category.

Concrete is required for several structural members of a residential house. Due to the present moisture, it is expected that the concrete shall be non-aerated (Non AE) with a 28 day compressive strength of 3.000 psi for slabs and 4,000 psi for beams and columns. Due to extra moisture present in the site, the slump to be used shall be the minimum allowed by the ACI mix.
