Introduction
The volcanic ash and a pulverised brick additive that were added
to the burnt lime to obtain a hydraulic binder were later referred to
as cementum, cimentum, cament and cement.
Cement works by holding the materials together; rather binding
them and this binding effect is achieved when it reacts with water. Over
time, the chemical reaction continues to occur and it is said that the
reaction is infinite (continues forever). Cement is used by making a mix
of cement, sand and plaster of Paris.
The most important use of cement is the production of mortar and
concrete. The bonding of natural or artificial aggregates to form a
strong building material that is durable in the face of normal
environment effects.
