Cement is a mixture of many chemical components. These chemical possesses different properties. Its content amount in cement changes basic physical properties of cement. This is why knowing chemical composition of cement is very important. Presently Portland cement is most commonly used cement in industry. Hence knowing the content of different chemicals in Portland cement…
Compressive strength: – Compressive strength of cement is the ability of the cement to withstand the compressive load. It helps to find out how much compressive load cement can take before failure. This is the most important property as cement is expected to withstand the desired compressive load. Significance: – The compressive strength of concrete…

Tensile Strength of concrete:- It is the ability of concrete to resist tensile strength applied on it. Concrete is good performer in terms of compression, but significantly weak in tension force. This is the reason reinforcement is provide to balance weakness of concrete in tensile strength. Split cylinder test can be used to find out…
