Cement is one of the most import building material which binds the materials together.
Cement is the mixture of lime, silica, alumina, iron oxide and magnesium oxide.
These are used with fine aggregate to produce mortar or with coarse aggregate and fine aggregate to produce concrete.
The history of cement was in 1756, John Smeaton demonstrates, hydraulic lime can resist the action of water which can be obtained from the hard lime.
Laterally, in 1796, Joseph Parker shows that hydraulic cement made from the burning of argillaceous limestone, which was led to the invention of Portland cement.
Portland cement is the most common type of cement in general use today.
The cement which we use today was discovered by Joseph Aspin a British stone mason in the year 1824.
He was trying to fire the mix of finely ground limestone and clay with water in his kitchen.
After a while, he noticed that the mixture was set and hard.
He found that it was cement which bonded and hardens the mixture.
As he considered his cement resembles the Jurassic Portland stone of Dorset England.
He named the cement as Portland cement.
The first engineering structure made of cement was Thames River tunnel in 1828.
Nowadays, cement is used for many fields they are
Cement mortar is used for masonry work, plaster, pointing, etc.
Cement concrete is used for the construction of various structures such as buildings, bridges, water tanks, tunnels, docks, harbours, etc.
Also, cement is used for lamp posts, telephone posts, railway sleepers, etc.
