Chapter 6, Problem 6.1QP
What ingredients are used for the production of portland cement?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
What the ingredients that are used for the production of Portland cement.
Explanation of Solution
Portland cement:
It is a cement factory-made from clay and chalk which hardens under water and when hard resembles Portland stone in color.
The two basic raw ingredients are listed as follows:
- Calcareous material
- Argillaceous material
Calcareous material:
The calcareous material is a calcium oxide, such as chalk, oyster shells, or limestone.
Argillaceous material:
It is a mixture of alumina and silica that can be acquired from shale, clay, and blast furnace slag.

- Figure 1 shows the plan view of an Exhibition Hall with dimensions L1 x L2. The structure is to be constructed in a coastal region which will be exposed to mostly mild environmental conditions and should provide a 1.5-hour fire resistance. It is known that the underlying foundation soil contains sulphate and other organic compounds. The layout of the structure consists of portal frames which are spaced evenly along the L2 direction. The frames are to support a slab of thickness (t) that will cover the full area of the hall plan. The dead and live loads applied on the slab are G and Q (kPa), respectively.arrow_forwardA sample of Achilles saturated with water has a mass of 1710 g. After heating in an oven, a constant mass of 1815 g is obtained. The density of solid Achilles seeds is 2.78 g/cm3.

A prestressed concrete beam is subjected to the following stress distributions: Pi is the initial prestressing force, Pe is the effective prestressing force, M, is the bending moment due to self- weight, Ma and M, are the dead load and live load bending moment, respectively.
