There are some facts regarding obtaining the quicker and more strength in cement - a) fine grinding b) By decreasing the amount of lime c) Burning at high temperature d) By increasing the amount of gypsum Now which of the following statements would be the correct statement? Correct Answer a and c

Explanation:

For obtaining the quicker and more strength in cement fine grinding is done and the clinkers of cement are burn at high temperature.

If the cement particles are fine, the surface area is large and bigger area is contacting with water. So the hydration will be quicker and also setting and hardening will be accelerated and strength will be high in early stage.

If the amount of lime is reduces, then the strength and setting time of cement will reduce and if the amount of gypsum increases, then the setting time of cement is also increases.
