C3S is responsible to early strength not early setting time, C3A is responsiblefor early setting time.

Answer C is correct.

Be because.

C3s strenth property.

C3a time &hydration property.

The setting and hardenings of cement paste is mainly due to the hydration and hydrolysis.

Early gain of strength is caused due to tricalcium silicate and thus setting time too.

The flash setting of cement due to - C4AF,
Initial setting of cement due to - C3A.

How long time due to tri-calcium aluminate gains the initial setting by cement?

Basavaraj said:   7 years ago
C3S for initial setting.
C3A for the flash setting.
C2s for Ultimate strength.

C3S and C2S for strength and C3A for the early setting of cement.

Silica indicates strength aluminium indicates settings times.
