Introduction In the world of construction and infrastructure development, cement plays a vital role. It serves as a binding agent in concrete, which is one of the most widely used construction materials. Cement has been used for centuries, and its importance cannot be overstated. This article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the basic…
Abstract Green concrete is a revolutionary topic in the history of concrete industry. This was first invented in Denmark in the year 1998. Green concrete has nothing to do with colour. It is a concept of thinking environment into concrete considering every aspect from raw materials manufacture over mixture design to structural design, construction, and…
In construction industry we always face problems while working on site regarding the Quantity Takeoff. Why it is too important ? Because it help to prepare the Billing of material to be use also it is also important to procure the material as on required basis usually we called as Material Reconciliation. In this post…
When the water is added to cement, a chemical reaction starts which is exothermic in nature and produces a significant amount of heat. This is known as hydration of cement and the liberated heat is called the heat of hydration. The process of hydration is not an instantaneous. Hydration of cement is faster in the…
Cement Cement is a material which has cohesive & adhesive properties in the presence of water. It was invented by Joseph Aspdin of UK in 1824 & its colour resemblance to strom found in Portland (England). So it is called Portland cement.John Smeaton is considered as father of civil engineering. In this post you will…

Construction or housing are the most fundamental needs for humanity. It gives us shelter. When we see or hear the word “Building”, we imagine that a building is tall and has a roof, walls, rooms, etc. However, in a broader sense, the definition of a building is structurally constructive based on bricks, sands, types of…
There are six basic stages of cement manufacturing process. Stage 1:Raw Material Extraction/Quarry The raw cement ingredients needed for the production of cement are limestone (calcium), sand and clay (silicon, aluminum, iron), slate, fly ash, inlays and bauxite. The mineral rocks are extracted and crushed into smaller pieces of approximately 6 inches. The secondary crushers…
