what is the definition of cement? I know the cement but I want to know the exact definition in engineering vie?
Cement is a very general and vague term. Perhaps you mean Portland Cement ? Any glue can be labeled cement, as it binds things together. wikipedia: In the most general sense of the word, a cement is a binder, a substance which sets and hardens independently, and can bind other materials together. The word cement traces to the Romans, who used the term opus caementicium to describe masonry which resembled concrete and was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as binder. The volcanic ash and pulverized brick additives which were added to the burnt lime to obtain a hydraulic binder were later referred to as cementum, cimentum, c?ment and cement. Cements used in construction are characterized as hydraulic or non-hydraulic.
cement is a cementing material or binding material used in engineering construction. It is manufactured from calcareous substance and is many respects to the strongly limes but possessing far greater hydraulic properties.
