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%.

Tri- calcium silicate (C3S) has the property of hydrating rapidly and is responsible for providing not only early strength but also the ultimate strength.

Final strength of OPC is contributed by?

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.

The C3s and C2s both will give strength to the cement.
