The weight of the cement is calculated from where ρ is the density of the cement [g.cm-3] V volume of the cement bed [cm 3] Specific surface S is expressed as
Portland cement can be made by following two different processes – a dry one and a wet one. Joseph Aspdin first made portland cement in his kitchen stove in England in the 19th century. Lime and silica make up approximately 85% of portland cement. The materials that are commonly used are limestone, shells, chalk, shale, clay, slate, silica sand, and iron ore.
Cement is so fine that 1 pound of cement contains 150 billion grains. The cement is now ready for transport to ready-mix concrete companies to be used in a variety of construction projects. Although the dry process is the most modern and popular way to manufacture cement, some kilns in the United States use a wet process.

Site Preparation: Making a proper bed for concrete Making a proper bed for concrete. By Joe Nasvik. Joe Nasvik The ultimate performance of a concrete slab depends on the type of soil materials underneath, soil density, moisture content, and the flatness of the surface the concrete rests on. There are many types of compactors, each working ...
