hi i know how cement is made. my main question is when do we use cement entirely? for instance, concrete is used to make roads etc. similarly, in constructing a 10 floor building, do we concrete in all the 10 floors or is concrete used only in foundation and pilings/pillars etc? is cement used only as a smoothing agent or as binding agent in making brick walls etc.thx
you use concreted to cover a person in.. You use cement to make shoes for a person out of tide boxes then you throw them in the water...
concrete is used in pouring walls and floors...just cement and sand is used in a base for setting tiles sometimes and for parging and rubbing down walls...mortar is used for brick and block work...that is cement and lime and sand......
I would have to agree with Tom but omit the sand replace with peat gravel instead. The concrete used in roads tends to have a larger size peat gravel. Using just sand creates the mortar used in brick, block, etc. installations...
Portland Cement is is the binding agent in making concrete. Concrete is made of cement, limestone, sand. You would not cement other than to mix up concrete. Mortar, a mixture of sand cement is used in brick walls.
Cement is concrete. Block, steps, etc. Roxanne
