Argillaceous elements

23
Q

Calcareous substances

A

Chalk, limestones, marl, shells

24
Q

Argillaceous elements

A

rich in silica

25
Q

Major compounds of Portland Cement

A

Aluminates
Silicates
Sulfates

26
Q

Ingredient of Concrete

27
Q

A mixture of aggregates and paste

28
Q

Water and cement

29
Q

Aggregates

A

Sand and gravel

30
Q

Percentage of cement in a concrete mix?

31
Q

The process in which cement and water harden and bind the aggregates

32
Q

This process keeps hydration to occur. Since hydration happens only if water is available and the concrete’s temperature stays within a suitable range.

33
Q

ASTM

A
