CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 7 ]White Cement White cement is a Portland cement CEM I made from specially selected raw materials, usually pure chalk and white clay (kaolin) containing very small quantities of iron oxides and manganese oxides. White cement is frequently chosen by architects for use in white, off-white or coloured concretes that will be exposed, inside or outside buildings, to the public's gaze. Masonry Cement: Masonry cements, as their name suggests, are designed for use in masonry mortars for bricklaying, block ... Continue reading---

CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER FIVE CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION This study shows that the socio-economic components of sustainable production and utilization is seen to be most challenging. The strongest effect of utilization of cement is transportation and the unfriendly nature of cement production. The above has a serious impact on the environment. The effect of transportation will be reduced if the roads and railways are in healthy condition. And transportation on the other way round has impact on the price of cement ... Continue reading---
