1. Portland Cements I. Types of Cements 1. pozzolana and pozzolanic cements ( 火山灰水泥） 2. blastfurnace slag cements （炉渣水泥） 3. high-alumina cements ( 高矾土水泥） 4. special cements such as white, colored, waterproofed, masonry, oil-well, and expansive cements 5. Portland cement: common calcium silicate cement II. *Portland Cements 1. History: In 1824, Aspdin, a British stone mason, invented a cement which he named portland cement because it resembled a stone quarried on the Isle of Portland off the British Coast. 1 Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015

Raw and processed materials: calcareous materials like limestone and marl and argillaceous substances like clay and shale, with major mineral ingredients of calcium, silicon, aluminum, and iron. 3. Constituents: tricalcium silicate (3CaOSiO 2 or C 3 S), dicalcium silicate (2CaOSiO 2 or C 2 S), tricalcium aluminate (3CaOAl 2 O 3 or C 3 A), and tetracalcium alumino ferrite (4CaOAl 2 O 3 Fe 2 O 3 or C 4 AF) 4. *Manufacturing Process:Manufacturing Process: 1) Producing a cement that meets specific chemical and physical specifications requires careful control of the manufacturing process. 2 Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015

Manufacturing Process: 2) Breakdown process (1) obtaining raw materials which are reduced by primary and secondary crushers to 5-inch size (125-mm), then to 3/4-inch(19 mm); (2) proportioning the materials at the cement plant to create a cement with a specific chemical composition with two different methods, dry and wet;dry and wet (3) Completing the grinding and blending operations for the materials in slurry form; 3 Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015

4. Portland Cements (4) after blending, feeding the mixture of raw materials into the upper end of a tilted rotating, cylindrical kiln; (5) forcing burning fuel consisting of powdered coal or natural gas into the lower end of the kiln; (6) heating the raw materials to very high temperature, and at 2700ºF (1480º C), a series of chemical reactions causing the materials to fuse and creating cement clinker—grayish-black pellets, often the size of marbles; (7) Discharging the clinker red-hot from the lower end of the kiln and then transferring it to various types of coolers to lower the clinker to handling temperatures; 4 Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015

5. Portland Cements (8) Combining the clinker with gypsum and grinding the mixture to pass through a No. 200 mesh sieve; (9) Packing and storing the gray powder—portland cement 5. Types of Portland Cements According to AASHTO and ASTM specifications, eight types of portland cements are listed as follows:  Type I: a normal, general-purpose cement suitable for all uses - used where the special properties of other types are not required; - used where cement or concrete is not subject to specific exposures, such as sulfate attack, or to an objectionable temperature rise due to heat generated by hydration. 5 Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015

6. Portland Cements -uses including pavements and sidewalks, reinforced concrete buildings, bridges, railway structures, tanks, reservoirs, culverts, sewers, water pipes and masonry units  Type IA: similar to Type I with the addition of air-entraining properties only air-entraining  Type II: generating less heat at a slower rate and with a moderate resistance to sulfate attack -used where precaution against moderate sulfate attack is important, as in drainage structures where sulfate concentrations in groundwaters are higher than normal but not unusually severe - usu. generating less heat at a slower rate than Type I 6 Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015

7. Portland Cements -used in structures of considerable mass, such as large piers, heavy abutments, and heavy retaining walls, especially when the concrete is placed in warm weather.  Type IIA: identical to Type II with the addition of air-entraining properties  Type III: a high-early-strength cement, chemically and physically similar to Type I, except that its particles have been ground finer. -providing high strengths at an early period, usually a week or less -used when forms are to be removed as soon as possible, or when the structure must be put into service quickly, especially in cold weather. 7 Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015

8. Portland Cements  Type IIIA: an air-entraining, high-early-strength cement  Type IV: with a low heat of hydration and developing strength at a slower rate than other cement types, making it ideal for use in dams and other massive concrete structures where there is little chance for heat to escape  Type V: sulfate-resisting, used only in concrete structures that will be exposed to severe sulfate action, principally where concrete is exposed to soil and groundwater with a high sulfate content. 8 Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015Monday, October 05, 2015

Tests on specifications of cement 1) Chemical test: a chemical analysis of the proper quantity of strength-giving compounds; 2) Physical test: fineness, stability, time of set, air content, and compressive strengths of mortars made using Ottawa sand III.

10. Portland Cements 1.In the dry process, dry raw materials are proportioned, ground to a powder, blended together and fed to the kiln in a dry state. 2.In the wet process, a slurry is formed by adding water to the properly proportioned raw materials. Back 10 Monday, October 05, 2015

11. Portland Cements Specifications for air-entraining cements Types IA, IIA, and IIIA correspond in composition to ASTM Types I, II, and III, respectively, except that small quantities of air-entraining materials are interground with the clinker during manufacture to produce minute, well-distributed, and completely separated air bubbles. These cements produce concrete with improved resistance to freeze-thaw action. Back 11 1 November 2004
