AIM OF THE
EXPERIMENT
INTRODUCTION
In the most general sense of the word, CEMENT is a
binder, a substance that sets and hardens
independently, and can bind other materials
together. The word cement traces to the Romans,
who used the term opus caementicium to describe
masonry resembling modern concrete that was
made from crushed rock with burnt lime as binder.
The volcanic ash and a pulverized brick additive
that were added to the burnt lime to obtain a
hydraulic binder were later referred to as cementum,
cimentum, cament and cement.
The most important use of cement is the production
of mortar and concrete
The bonding of natural or artificial aggregates to
form a strong building material that is durable in
the face of normal environment effects.

APPARATUS REQUIRED
1. Beakers, glass rods, weight box, matchboxes
BEAKER
MATCHBOX
GLASS RODS
BEAKERS
LIMESTONE
RIVER SAND
WEIGHT
CEMENT
FLY ASH
PROCEDURE
1. Prepare mixtures of various compositions as given in
Observation table.
2. Take each of the given mixtures in different beakers
and prepare their pastes by adding minimum amount of
water
3. Take nine cases of empty match boxes and mark them
from 1 to 9.
4. Fill the three cases with the paste of each composition.
5. Spray water from time to time over the paste ,so that
they remain moist all the time.
6. After three days, take out one slab of each composition
and test their strengths.
