Timeline of Concrete
The story of concrete from the natural deposit of cement compounds 12000000 BC,
through the creation of concrete by the Romans to its uses in the 1990s.
Historical Timeline of Concrete 12, 000, 000 BC Reactions between limestone and oil shale during spontaneous combustion occurred in Israel to form a natural deposit of cement compounds
Also furthered the discovery of lime and gypsum mortar as a binding agent for building the Pyramids 3000 BC Used cementitious materials to hold bamboo together in their boats and in the Great Wall
They used lime as a cementitious material
1756 John Smeaton, British Engineer, rediscovered hydraulic cement through repeated testing of mortar in both fresh and salt water 1779 Bry Higgins was issued a patent for hydraulic cement (stucco) for exterior plastering use
1796 James Parker from England patented a natural hydraulic cement by calcining nodules of impure limestone containing clay, called Parkers Cement or Roman Cement
Leger was issued patents for hydraulic cement
1818 Canvass White, American Engineer, found rock deposits in Madison, County, New York, that made hydraulic cement with little processing 1820-1821 John Tickell and Abraham Chambers were issued more hydraulic cement patents
1822 James Frost of England prepared artificial hydraulic lime like Vicats and called it British Cement

MOXIE INTERNATIONAL CONCRETE ADMIXTURES / CONCRETE SEALERS AND ... Glossary of basic terms used in concrete manufacture and construction.
Introduction The people involved in the cement or concrete industries, either in its manufacture, use, or application is so broad that the information contained should be understood by everyone
Mix design is composed of portland cement, sand or siliceous material, lime, gypsum, finely powdered aluminum, and water
Initial mix is a combination of portland cement, sand, lime and gypsum to produce a slurry
Finely powdered aluminum mixed into a paste is added prior to placement into large, rail-like forms
The finely powdered aluminum reacts with the alkaline components of the cement and lime to produce hydrogen gas, which increases the volume approximately five times producing a uniformly, dispersed cellular structure
Example: Absolute Volume of one sack of cement equals: 94 ÷ (3.15X62.4) = 0.478 cubic feet Absorbed Moisture Moisture which is mechanically held in a material
Accelerator An admixture which, when added to concrete, mortar, or grout, increases the rate of hydration of the hydraulic cement, shortens the time of set and increases the rate of hardening or strength development, Adiabatic Curing The maintenance of ambient conditions during the setting and hardening of concrete so that heat is neither lost nor gained from the surroundings of the concrete

Manufactures environmentally safe products.
Moxie International "Concrete answers to your Concrete questions"® We manufacture both admixture and post placement sealers
Cement and concrete are two entirely different things yet many times are incorrectly used interchangeably
Cement is the powdered raw form
Cement mixed with sand and aggregates (gravel) is concrete
Cement mixed with sand and clay is referred to as stucco for exterior use, yet, is called plaster for interior or swimming pool use
Even though all of these terms are distinctly different, depending on the application, the actual chemical process that takes place, and the principles that apply, when cement is mixed with water and aggregates, are the same
Water Cement Ratio - This property is one of the most important factors in producing quality concrete
The water to cement ratio of concrete is simply the weight of the water divided by the weight of the cement
At placement of the slab the water-cement ratio directly affects permeability and the time it takes before flooring materials can be installed
The water to the cement ratio is dependant in part on the local aggregates and sand available
Set-Retarding
Short description of common retarders and their mechanismn of retardation.
Infrastructure Materials Group Set-Retarding Retarding admixtures (retarders) are known to delay hydration of cement without affecting the long-term mechanical properties
The role of retarding admixtures can be explained in a simple way: the admixtures form a film around the cement compounds (e.g., by absorption), thereby preventing or slowing the reaction with water
However, in some cases when the dosage of admixtures exceeds a certain critical point, hydration of cement compounds will never proceed beyond a certain stage, and the cement paste will never set
Other factors influencing the degree of retardation include the w/c, cement content, C3A and alkali contents in cement, the type and dosage of the admixture, and the stage at which the retarder is added to the mix
This is especially important when the length of placement may result in flexural cracks created by dead load deflections during placement

(a member of the Nigerian Stock Exchange) In This Issue: Page 1 The Magna 50 Stocks Stocks to Watch Stocks to Watch (Continued) Business News 1.0 HISTORY OF CEMENT INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA The first cement plant (The Nigerian Cement Company -ìNigerCemî) was commissioned at Nkalagu (Eastern Region of Nigeria) on December 20 th 1957
Before this time, all cement consumed was imported
The demand for cement continued to rise due to advancement towards independence and commencement of government development plans
Thus, cement manufacturing became one of the import-substitution industries to be considered for establishment in the country
Between (1957-1980), six other cement plants were commissioned

| Q | Abrams' law The rule stating that with given materials, curing, and testing conditions, concrete strength is inversely related to the ratio of water to cement
Low water-to-cement ratios produce higher strengths
Example: Absolute Volume of one sack of cement equals: 94 ÷ (3.15 x 62.4) = 0.478 cubic feet
Adjustable Hanger A forming accessory, a metal strip, used to suspend or support metal forms or metal form attachments when traditional methods of anchoring forms or form attachments cannot be used due to trenching or prior concrete placement
Admixture A material, other than aggregate, cement, or water, added in small quantities to the mix in order to produce some desired modifications, either to the physical or chemical properties of the mix or of the hardened product
Advanced Cement-Based Materials (ACBM) A center at Northwestern University established by the National Science Foundation to create new cement–based materials with improved properties
Aerated concrete Concrete formed using gas-forming admixtures such as powdered zinc or aluminum combined with calcium hydroxide or hydrogen peroxide that form hydrogen or oxygen bubbles in the cement mix
