Ultimate strength to cement is provided by
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Dicalcium Silicate (C2S): This compound will undergo reaction slowly. It is responsible for the ultimate strength of concrete. This is also called as Belite. The heat of hydration is 260 J/Cal. Its proportion is 25 - 40%.

Di-calsium silicate has give a ultimate strength provide.

Ultimate strength gain by C3S.

Tricalcium silicate would contribute more in gaining the early and ultimate strength of the concrete then that of dicalcium silicate. So C3S is the answer.

C3S hydrates rapidly generating high heat and develops as an early strength however C2S hydrates slowly and takes longer time to gain strength but strength for C3S and C2S will be same. Answer is C3S.

Di-calcium silicate gives progressive strength so how it can give ultimate strength?

C3S is the answer for that question for me.

C3S gives intial strength and C2S give Ultimate strength.

Tri-calcium silicate is response for early developing strength. So, why gives ultimate strength a di-calcium silicate.
Haunted said:

Option B is correct answer. Ultimate strength is due to di-calcium. Tri calcium provides initial setting. Then ultimate strength starts.
