Ultimate strength to cement is provided by
Tricalcium silicate
Di-calcium silicate
Tri-calcium aluminate
Tetra calcium alumino ferrite.
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-calcium silicate gives progressive strength so how it can give ultimate strength?

Please, give theMajor differences of tri calcium silicate and Di-calcium silicate.

Kala said:   7 years ago
Add 25% of Di-calcium silicate in cement then it provide ultimate strength.

Amardeep kumar said:   1 decade ago
Tricalcium silicate and dicalcium silicate most to the eventual strength.

Ammu said:   1 decade ago
Then what about tricalcium aluminate and tetracalcium aluminoferrite?
