I think answer is B because A gives rapid hardening more heat.

Ajay verma said:   9 years ago
I think B is the correct answer because in good quality cement 32% of Di-calcium silicate, 4% of Tricalcium silicate, 10. 5% of Tri-calcium aluminate & 9% of Tetra calcium alumino ferrite.

No, it's correct.

The typical compound compositions of this type are:
55% (C3S), 19% (C2S), 10% (C3A), 7% (C4AF), 2.8% MgO, 2.9% (SO3), 1.0% ignition loss, and 1.0% free CaO.

According to my view, B is correct because Di-calcium silicate provide ultimate strength.

Protap said:   9 years ago
I think, option B is correct.

Gajan Rana said:   8 years ago
B is the answer. Because ultimate strength is provided by Dicalcium silicate.

Roy said:   8 years ago
Given answer is correct. I agree.

Nayan Maitra said:   8 years ago
Tricalcium silicate is the right answer.

Because it gives the early strength if there is no early strength in concrete structure then what is the profit?

No one wt for 2-3 years for gaining complete strength by di calcium silicate. So right answer is option A.

Answer should be B because free lime in the C2S is less as compare to C3S.

Vikram said:   6 years ago
The answer is B because early strength is much needed for any structure.
