Why Cement Chemistry Matters in Concrete Quality?

Описание: Cement may look simple, but its performance in concrete depends heavily on its chemical composition and reactions. Understanding the basic chemistry of cement is essential for engineers who want to control strength, setting time, durability, and quality of concrete.

In this video, we explain the Basic Chemistry of Cement in a simple, site-oriented and practical way, without unnecessary complexity. This video helps you clearly understand how cement behaves from the moment water is added until concrete gains strength.

📌 What This Video Covers:

What cement is made of and why chemistry matters

Main chemical compounds of cement (C₃S, C₂S, C₃A, C₄AF)

Role of each compound in strength development and setting

Hydration process of cement explained step by step

Heat of hydration and its effect on concrete

How cement chemistry affects workability, setting time & durability

Common site issues linked to poor understanding of cement chemistry

This video connects theory with real construction behavior, helping you take better decisions during concrete works.

❓ Why This Video Is Important

Many concrete problems—such as early cracking, delayed setting, low strength, and durability issues—are directly related to cement chemistry. Understanding the basics helps engineers prevent defects instead of reacting after failure.
