Assessment of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete Produced from Various Portland Cement Brands
2019
Construction
projects require cement, which must have definite qualities so as to play its
part separately in structure. The compressive strength of cement and,
consequently, its physical properties could vary as a result of variations in
the raw materials, as well as in manufacturing conditions. Therefore, an
experimental study has been checked out herein by investigating the mechanical
and physical properties of concrete specimens by means of four different types
of Ordinary Portland Cements, namely Black Bull, Lucky, Pak Land and DG obtained from the market of Sindh
Pakistan. Based on obtained results, it was found that Lucky cement type
performed well when compared to other three types both in compressive and tensile strength of concrete. Although
there were some differences in the physical properties of cement used in this study, however, they all
meet with the requirements of international standards.
