In order to compensate for the shrinkage of the stabilised subgrade, a new slow setting slight-expansive cement was prepared as the road base course binder (RBCB) with an experimentally derived optimum composition of 45% fly ash, 45% silicate cement clinker, and 10% gypsum (Li et al., 2019). The RBCB had a 28-day expansion rate of …Web

Cement manufacturing is a complex process that begins with mining and then grinding raw materials that include limestone and clay, to a fine powder, called raw meal, which is then heated to a sintering temperature as high as 1450 °C in a cement kiln. In this process, the chemical bonds of the raw materials are broken down and then they …Web

There are four stages in the manufacture of portland cement: (1) crushing and grinding the raw materials, (2) blending the materials in the correct proportions, (3) burning the prepared mix in a kiln, and (4) grinding the burned product, known as " clinker," together with some 5 percent of gypsum (to control the time of set of the cement).Web
