- For a good OPC Cement - the composition is lime - 63% + silica 22% + 15% other gradient
- Maximum Quantity in OPC - Lime (CaO)
- Minimum Percentage in OPC - Alkalies

Types of Cement :-
1. 33 grade - IS-269
53 grade - IS-12269
Initial setting time for quick setting cement - Not less than 5 minutes
Final setting time of Quick setting cement - Not More than 30 Minutes
Use of Quick setting cement :
1. Use under water construction (where pumping involve)
2. Use for grounting opration (Grouting)
Note :- To measeure the coloured of cemnt Hunter Scale is used (White ness measured)
Whiteness should not less 70% when measured ISI scals.
9. Hydrophobic Cement :-
Longer Storage
Note :- High Alumina cement Initial setting time OPC, RHC, LHC Final
setting time
Propertics of PPC :-
1. Low Heat of Hydration
2. Use ful in Marine condition
3. Use for Hydraulic structure other than mass concrete construction.
4. Longer currying period required compare to OPC
5. It is Cheaper compare to OPC
6. Reduce the permability of concrete
7. More Volume Covered by 50 kg bag.
1. Field Test - Following test are conduction to determine the properties of cement-
(a) Cement should be free from lump.
(b) Colour of cement should be greenish grey.
(c) Thrust your hand into beg and it must give cool feeling.
(d) Take a pinch of cement and feel between the fingure. It should give a smooth feeling.
(e) Take a sample of cement and throw it on bucket of full with water, the particles of cement should be
float for sometime before they sink.
Le-Chetelia Appartus:-
The unsoundness or expansion of cement (edge distance of Le-Chetelia Appartus) should not more
than 10mm in case of OPC, R.H.C., L.H.C., P.P.C.
(d) Strength Test - Cement Tensile or compressive strength 1:3 (cement : Sand)
Mix
Test
(i) Tensile strength Test (ii) Compressive strength Test
PPC and OPC Cement 3 days or 7 days Compressive Strength 16 N/mm2 or 22 N/mm2
Cement Strength test 185 gram cement ( 200 gram) or 555 gram sand ( 600
gram)
Cement Strength test Cement, Sand or Water Minimum Mixing Period 3 Minute
(iii) Specific Gravity Test - Cement Specific Gravity test Le-Chetelia Flask
OPC cement Specific gravity 3.15

WORK ABILITY
Consistancy - It is the related mobility and also the one dimensional measurment of workability. It
is the property of concrete which provided penetration resistance in concrete paste.
Following test are use to find out the workability of concrete :-
(i) Slump test
(ii) Compaction Factory test
(iii) Vee-Bee test
(iv) Flow test
(v) Kelly ball test
Slump Mould
(ii) Compating Factor Test - test laboratry method Low workable concrete
Test concrete compaction factor
instrument Compaction factor
Wight of partially compaction Con.
Compacting Factor= Weight of Fully Compacted Con.

4. Miscellaneous Process
Note :- In Normal Condition OPC Minimum Curing Period 7 days RHS have smaller curing period.
Low heat cement have most longer curing period.
