Mar 11, 2021Cement contains composition of lime, silica, magnesia, sulfur trioxide, iron oxide, calcium sulphate etc. Out of this lime has maximum content (60-70%). If lime content is then cement will harden fast and if its more then cement will become unsound. Soundness or volume change in cement or concrete may lead to cracks formation members.
