When Water is mixed in cement it starts a chemical reaction. Then hydration process starts and makes a cement paste. This paste can be moulded in any shape until it hardens. Cement continues to react with water and slowly starts losing its plasticity and ultimately hardens. Time taken to harden the cement after mixing water
