Portland Cement
• Cements are classified as hydraulic and
nonhydraulic.
• Hydraulic cements set and harden under water.
Nonhydraulic cements (e.g., lime, CaO) cannot
harden under water and require air for
hardening.
• Portland cement is the most widely used and
manufactured construction material.
• It was patented by Joseph Aspdin in 1824 and is
named as such after the limestone cliffs on the
Island of Portland in England.
Portland Cement
• Hydraulic cement is made from calcium silicates with an
approximate composition of CaO (60 to 65%), SiO2 (20 to
25%), and iron oxide and alumina (7 to 12%).
• The cement binder, which is very fine in size, is composed of
various ratios of 3 SiO2.Al2O3 (S3A), 2CaO.SiO2 (C2S)
,3CaO.SiO2 (C3S), 4CaO.A2O3.Fe2O3 (C4AF) and other
minerals.
• In the cement terminology, CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 are
often indicated as C, S, A, and F, respectively. Thus, C3S means
3CaO-SiO2.
• When water is added to the cement, a hydration reaction
occurs, producing a solid gel that bonds the aggregate
particles.
