what are the cement grades?
473375
Grades of Cement - 28-Day Strength Within each type there are three grades, based on the 28-day strength of the concrete that they produce. The grades are 32.5, 42.5 and 52.5 (sometimes written 33, 43, 53).

Regular grades of concrete are M15, M20, M25 etc. For plain cement concrete works, generally M15 is used. For reinforced concrete construction minimum M20 grade of concrete are used.

Strength grade The standard strength grades are N20, N25, N32, N40 and N50. Standard strength grades greater than 50 (ie 65, 80 and 100) and ordering concrete strengths other than one of the standard strength grades (not recommended) will require a special-class concrete.

Grey cement is grey because of the presence of high amounts of iron, manganese and chromium oxide, which are found only in small traces in white cement. In contrast, white cement contains high amounts of the whitest chalk and light-coloured sand.

Cement requires a closely controlled combination of raw materials, including calcium, silicon, iron and aluminium. Common materials used to manufacture cement include limestone, shells, and chalk or marl, combined with shale, clay, slate, blast furnace slag, silica sand, and iron ore.

Commercial real estate is generally rough graded by heavy construction equipment like excavators, bulldozers, and dump trucks. Final grading is generally a second pass with a motor grader and similar equipment.

The composition of cement is GaO (lime) or limestone 62% silica (SiO2) 22% alumina (Al2O2) 7.5%, magnesia (MgO) 2.5 % etc. thus, limestone is the major raw material for cement.

Standard concrete block masonry units are commonly available in nominal widths of 100 mm, 150, 200, 250, and 300 mm. The typical nominal height is 200 mm; although “ashlar” units (also termed “half-high” units) have a standardized nominal height of 100 mm.

Cement is manufactured through a closely controlled chemical combination of calcium, silicon, aluminum, iron and other ingredients. Common materials used to manufacture cement include limestone, shells, and chalk or marl combined with shale, clay, slate, blast furnace slag, silica sand, and iron ore.

Its typical compound composition is: 38% (C3S), 43% (C2S), 4% (C3A), 9% (C4AF), 1.9% MgO, 1.8% (SO3), 0.9% ignition loss, and 0.8% free CaO. This cement has a very low (C3A) composition which accounts for its high sulfate resistance. The maximum content of (C3A) allowed is 5% for type V Portland cement.

Basic Use: Lehigh ASTM Type III (AASHTO TYPE III), low alkali, Portland cement is a special purpose hydraulic cement that produces higher early strengths relative to a normal Type I-II Portland cement. Type III Portland cement is formulated to be used in grouts, mortars and concrete.

Originally Answered: In M20 grade concrete, what is M and what is 20? The M stands for the mix ratio, which for M-20 would be 1 part cement : 1.5 part sand : 3 part coarse aggregate. The 20 stands for the minimum compressive strength of concrete at the end of 28 days in Newton per milimeter square.

Concrete Exposure Classes. Determination of the minimum concrete performance properties is based upon identifying the following key requirements: ∎ Applicable Exposure Conditions – The designer must assess the environmental conditions that the concrete will be exposed to during its service life.
