DESCRIPTION

Cement is the most active component of concrete and usually has the greatest unit cost; therefore, its selection

and proper use is imperative to attaining the desired balance of properties and cost for a particular concrete
mixture. Selection should include consideration of the cement properties in relation to the required
performance of the concrete. This guide covers the influence of cement on the properties of concrete,
summarizing the composition and availability of commercial hydraulic cements and the factors affecting their

influences of chemical admixtures and supplementary cementitious materials, and the effects of the
environment on cement performance, and reviews the sustainability aspects for the use and manufacture of
portland cement. Cement storage, delivery, sampling, and testing of hydraulic cements for conformance to
specifications are addressed. Users will learn to recognize when a readily available, general-purpose cement will
perform satisfactorily or when conditions require selection of a cement that meets additional requirements.

Keywords: admixture; blended cement; calcium-aluminate cement; cement storage; cement types; chemical
analysis; hydraulic cement; pozzolan; physical properties; portland cement; slag cement; supplemental
cementitious materials; sustainability.
