11.6 Portland Cement Manufacturing
Portland cement accounts for 95 percent of the hydraulic cement production in the United States. The balance of domestic cement production is primarily masonry cement. Both of these materials are produced in portland cement manufacturing plants. A diagram of the process, which encompasses production of both portland and masonry …

The Phases and Structure of Calcium Aluminate Cements (CACs)
The main hydraulic mineral in CAC is calcium mono-aluminate (CA). The hydration of CA contributes to the high initial strength of CACs. CA is a monoclinic phase and pseudo-hexagonal, and its space group is P21/n, Z = 12, and D x = 2.945 g/cm 3. Moreover, it resembles the structure of β-tridymite with an endless 3D framework of AlO …

Water-Cement Ratio and Concrete Strength: Formula
The practical best water-cement ratio is from about 0.40 to over 0.60. A ratio of 0.3 is made concrete too stiff (unless superplasticizers are used). A ratio of 0.8 makes concrete wet and fairly weak concrete. Normal compressive strengths when concrete is properly cured are: 0.4 w/c ratio –> 5600 psi. 0.8 w/c ratio –> 2000 psi.

Basic chemistry
The weight (relative atomic mass) of sodium is 23 and of chlorine is 35.5. If we add these together we get the formula weight of a sodium chloride molecule: 23+35.5=58.5. So, the proportion of sodium in sodium chloride is: 23/58.5 x = 39.3% by mass. The proportion of chlorine in sodium chloride is: 35.5/58.5 x = 60.7% by mass.
