Cement: Materials Science and Technology - by Dominic Brady (Hardcover)

Product Description

About the Book Cement is a material used for construction purposes. It is used for the purpose of binding other materials together. It can be categorized into hydraulic cement and non-hydraulic cement. The setting of hydraulic cement requires water as a hydration reaction which is involved in its hardening. The most common example of hydraulic cement is Portland cement which is the key ingredient in concrete and mortar. Non-hydraulic cement undergoes carbonation when it interacts with the carbon dioxide present in the air. It becomes resistant to any deterioration caused by chemical agents. Polymer cement is also a common category of cement. They are derived from organic chemicals that have…
