Role of Concrete Curing - Portland Cement Association
Role of Concrete Curing. Curing plays an important role on strength development and durability of concrete. Curing takes place immediately after concrete placing and finishing, and involves maintenance of desired moisture and temperature conditions, both at depth and near the surface, for extended periods of time.
Chapter 5. Concrete Design and Construction Details

Clinkerization - Cement Plant Optimization
The liquid percentage at 1450 0 C can be estimated using the formula. % Liquid content (1450 0C) = 3.0 x A+2.25 x F+S. Where A=Al 2 O, F=Fe 2 O 3, S= MgO+K 2 O+Na 2 O+SO 3 In Clinker. The normal range of liquid phase is 22-27%. Burnability is a reference value for raw meal indicating how difficult it is to burn.
Types of Retaining Walls - Structural Engineers
Retaining walls are structure used to retain soil, rock or other materials in a vertical condition. Hence they provide a lateral support to vertical slopes of soil that would otherwise collapse into a more natural shape. Most common materials used for retaining walls are:
ACI Concrete Terminology
1 ACI Concrete Terminology A/F ratio — the molar or mass ratio of aluminum oxide (Al 2O 3) to iron oxide (Fe 2O 3), as in portland cement. Abrams' law — a rule stating that, with given concrete materials and conditions of test, the ratio of the amount of water to the amount of the cement in the mixture
Clinkerization - Cement Plant Optimization
The lowest temperature is obtained at AM equal to 1.6, which is the optimum for clinker formation and nodulization. Higher the AM, lighter the color of clinker (cement). Normal range of SM is 1-2.5. MgO is commonly present in raw meal.
