PORTLAND CEMENT
PORTLAND CEMENT It is the product obtained by finely pulverizing clinker which is produced by calcining to incipient fusion a properly proportioned mixture of argillaceous and calcareous materials.
RAW MATERIALS FOR PORTLAND CEMENT ARGILLACEOUS MATERIALS ( At 1500ºC or 2700ºF) • SILICA • ALUMINA • IRON OXIDE
CALCAREOUS MATERIALS • LIME
DIFFERENT TYPES OF PORTLAND CEMENT TYPE I USED FOR GENERAL CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION TYPE II USED WHEN MODERATE HEAT OF HYDRATION AND MODERATE SULFATE RESISTANCE IS NEEDED CHARACTERIZED BY LOW PERCENTAGE OF TRICALCIUM SULFATE. TYPE III USED FOR HIGH EARLY STRENGTH CONCRETE. IT HAS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF C3S.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF PORTLAND CEMENT TYPE IV USED WHEN LOW HEAT OF HYDRATION IS NEEDED LIKE THE CONSTRUCTION OF MASSIVE STRUCTURES LIKE DAM. IT IS CHARACTERIZED BY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF C2S AND C4AF AND LOW PERCENTAGE OF C3S AND C3A. TYPE V USED WHEN HIGH SULFATE RESISTANCE IS NEEDED.
PHYSICAL COMPOUND OF PORTLAND CEMENT TRI-CALCIUM SILICATES (C3S) Controls the strength development of cement
DI--CALCIUM SILICATE (C2S) Controls the strength development of cement
TRI-CALCIUM ALUMINATE (C3A) Controls the volume change in concrete
TETRA CALCIUM ALUMINA FERRITE (C4AF) Reduces the clinkering temperature during manufacturing process.

ADMIXTURE A material other than water, aggregates and portland cement (including air entraining portland cement and portland blast furnace slag cement) that is used as an ingredient of concrete and is added to the batch immediately before or during its mixing.
MINERAL ADMIXTURE
MINERAL ADMIXTURES
FLY ASH Fly ash is also known as pulverized fuel ash (pfa) which is a pozzolanic material which is capable of combining with lime to form cementitious compounds.
MINERAL ADMIXTURES TWO TYPES OF FLY ASH 1. TYPE F Produced when anthracite, bituminous or sub- bituminous coal is burned. Low lime content.
2. TYPE C Normally comes from lignite or subbituminous coal.High lime content.

MINERAL ADMIXTURES
BLAST FURNACE SLAG The non metallic product consisting essentially of silicates and alumino-silicates of calcium and of other bases that is developed in a molten condition simultaneously with iron in a blast furnace.
GRANULATED BLAST FURNACE SLAG The glassy granular material formed when molten blast furnace slag is rapidly chilled as bay immersion in water.
MINERAL ADMIXTURES
BLAST FURNACE SLAG Main constituents arw calcium, magnesium, silicon, aluminum, and oxygen. Very effective with cements with higher contents of alkali and C3A and higher fineness. It must conform to the requirements of ASTM C 989

USES OF ADMIXTURES
Usually an admixture is used to modify the properties of the concrete in such a way to make it more suitable for the work in hand such as: Improvement of workability
Acceleration of the rate of strength development at early age.
Retardation of initial stiffening or too rapid.
Retardation or reduction of heat evolution.
USES OF ADMIXTURES
Increase in bond to steel reinforcement.
Reduction in bleeding.
Increase in durability.
Increase and decrease in the permeability to liquid.
Production of cellular concrete.
