CEMENT – PART 1

IDENTIFICATION.

1. The oldest concrete discovered so far is in southern Israel, and dates from about.
2. The oldest type of ‘cement’ used.
3. Were used in some structures in the Middle Ages and after, particularly in thick walls of castles
and other fortifications.
4. Found the hardened mortar to be three times stronger than that made from Roman cement,
and he used it for repairs in his Thames Tunnel.
5. These are cements which requires water in order to be used as binder, the most popular which
is Portland Cement.
6. Largest producer of Cement in 2010.
7. It is used for fixing marbles and glazed tiles.
8. This cement is used to lay concrete under static or slowly running water.
9. These are transformed into silico-aluminates by heating to relatively low temperatures (about
750°C)
10. This decomposes at about 650°C yielding a cementitious product.
11. The earliest manuscript where records of cement, specifically pozzolana can be found.
12. These are generally calcium silicate hydrates as in hardened Portland cement.
13. These cements are used for giving finishing touches to floors, walls, window sills, roofs etc.
14. It can be processed from shales and certain types of clay also.
15. In 1756 he required a mortar for use in the foundations and masonry of the Eddystone
Lighthouse.
16. He developed and patented Roman Cement.
17. It is also known as high-alumina cement (HAC)
18. Its French name is Cimen Fondu and supplies in Europe are covered by BS EN 14647.
19. This decomposes at about 650°C yielding a cementitious product.
20. He is the pioneer of Portland cement.
21. This is used for filling the cracks in concrete structures.
22. It develops almost full strength within 24 hours of adding water.
23. It is commonly used in the construction of chemical factories.
24. Does not set in wet conditions or under water.
25. These are generally calcium silicate hydrates as in hardened Portland cement.
26. Largest producer of Cement in 2010.
27. It is used for mass concrete works.
28. He had left his father’s company and in his cement manufacturing apparently accidentally
produced calcium silicates in the 1840s, a middle step in the development of Portland cement.
29. Sorel Cement was patented in 1867 by whom?
30. Type of cement populary used in the U.S which was used to build foundations of Statue of
Liberty, Capitol Building, Brooklyn Bridge.
31. Engineer whose company had helped construct the New York City's Catskill Aqueduct, was
impressed with the durability of Rosendale cement.
