Just scroll down a little and select the cement
Understand its properties by comparing it with others

Ordinary Portland cement is the most extensively manufactured and used cement worldwide.
Types of Ordinary Portland Cement – 33 grade, 43 grade and 53 grade. The grade signifies the compressive strength of cement at 28 days.
Specific Gravity – 3.15
Density – 1440 kg/m3
Setting time – Initial setting time should not be less than 30 minutes whereas the final setting time should not be more than 10 hours.
Fineness – As measured by Blaine’s method, the specific surface area should not be less than 225 m2/kg.
Uses – It is employed in general construction works as well as in the majority of masonry projects.

Low Heat Cement produces low heat of hydration as compared to normal cement.
This type of cement is produced by reducing the proportion of C3A and C3S which causes a reduction in heat of hydration of the cement and reduces early strength.
The quantity of C2S is increased to compensate for the loss of strength.
Reduction in the proportion of C3A also results in increased initial setting time (60 minutes).
This type of cement is resistant to sulphate attacks and is less reactive.
Low heat cement is used for mass concreting in dams and other hydraulic structures, bridge abutments, massive retaining walls, piers, etc. It is also used in the construction of chemical plants

We are second year civil engineering students of VIIT Pune.
The basic idea of creating this project is, lot of student find it
hard to identify or differentiate different types of cement
based on their properties or components present.
So we are trying to make it more easy and
understandable so that every student can
understand it properly and its also interactive,
so you can compare types of cement with each other.
