Minute voids are formed while setting of cement which increases resistance against freezing and scaling action of salts. Air entrainment improves workability, and water/cement ratio can be reduced, which in turn reduces shrinkage, etc.
Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC): OPC is the most commonly used cement in construction. It is suitable for general purposes, such as building foundations, walls, floors, and most concrete structures.
Rapid Hardening Cement: This type of cement has a higher rate of hydration and gains strength faster than OPC. It is used in projects where quick setting and early strength development are required, such as road repairs and precast concrete elements.
Sulphate Resistant Cement: As the name suggests, this cement is resistant to sulfate attacks, which can occur when the concrete is exposed to sulfate-rich soils or water. It is used in environments where there is a high concentration of sulfates, such as coastal areas or regions with saline groundwater.
Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC): PPC is a blended cement that consists of OPC clinker, gypsum, and pozzolanic materials like fly ash, volcanic ash, or silica fumes. It offers better workability and durability and is commonly used in hydraulic structures, marine structures, and mass concrete works.
