  Cement - LoveToKnow 1911
A strong cement for alabaster and marble, which sets in a day, may be prepared by mixing 12 parts of Portland cement, 8 of fine sand and 1 of infusorial earth, and making them into a thick paste with silicate of soda; the object to be cemented need not be heated.
A cement for Derbyshire spar and china, andc., is composed of 7 parts of rosin and i of wax, with a little plaster of Paris; a small quantity only should be applied to the surfaces to be united, for, as a general rule, the thinner the stratum of a cement, the more powerful its action.
Cutler's cement, used for fixing knife-blades in their hafts, is made of equal parts of brick-dust and melted rosin, or of 4 parts of rosin with i each of beeswax and brick-dust.

 Hydraulic cement composition - Patent 3998773
The invention is an improved aqueous hydraulic cement slurry which is suited for use in cementing a well, particularly a well bore which penetrates a subterranean formation which produces a petroleum fluid, e.g., oil and/or gas, and/or water.
In these methods a hydraulic cement slurry is employed to cement a casing in place and also for cementing off permeable zones of permeable formations into which valuable materials may be lost.
One of the desirable characteristics of an aqueous hydraulic cement slurry is that the fluid content thereof must not be readily lost to more porous medium, e.g., the geologic formation, for this causes the hydraulic cement slurry to prematurely set and thus be unsuitable in the cementing process.

 Concrete Technology and Construction | Cement Basics | Portland Cement Association (PCA)
Portland cements are hydraulic cements composed primarily of hydraulic calcium silicates.
Blended hydraulic cements are produced by intimately and uniformly intergrinding or blending two or more types of fine materials.
Whether it is the clinker composition, the fineness of the individual cement grains, or the amount with which it is used in the concrete, the type and proportion of cement affect both the fresh and hardened properties of concrete.

 Portland Cement
Expansive cement, as well as expansive components, is a cement containing hydraulic calcium silicates (such as those characteristic of portland cement) that, upon being mixed with water, forms a paste, that during the early hydrating period occurring after setting, increases in volume significantly more than does portland cement paste.
Expansive cement is used to compensate for volume decrease due to shrinkage and to induce tensile stress in reinforcement.
Expansive cement concrete used to minimize cracking caused by drying shrinkage in concrete slabs, pavements, and structures is termed shrinkage-compensating concrete.

 The History of Concrete: Textual
He used hydraulic lime to rebuild Eddystone Lighthouse in Cornwall, England which he had been commissioned to build in 1756, but had to first invent a material that would not be affected by water.
Natural cement is limestone that naturally has the appropriate amounts of clay to make the same type of concrete as John Smeaton discovered.
Joseph Aspdin of England invented portland cement by burning finely ground chalk with finely divided clay in a lime kiln until carbon dioxide was driven off.

 cement
cement, binding material used in construction and engineering, often called hydraulic cement, typically made by heating a mixture of limestone and clay until it almost fuses and then grinding it to a fine powder.
Modern portland cement is made by mixing substances containing lime, silica, alumina, and iron oxide and then heating the mixture until it almost fuses.
Cement with a high aluminate content is used for fireproofing, because it is quick-setting and resistant to high temperatures; cement with a high sulfate content is used in complex castings, because it expands upon hardening, filling small spaces.

 Slag Cement Association - Slag Cement Creates Concrete At Its Best - Frequently Asked Questions
Slag cement improves many of the strength and durability properties of hardened concreteSlag cement is a hydraulic binder that, like portland cement, reacts with water to form cementitious material (calcium-silicate hydrate or CSH).
Slag cement generally improves workability, finishability and pumpability of plastic concrete.  It may provide a small decrease in water demand (see SCIC #5). Slag cement will tend to increase time of initial set, which is often a benefit in warm weather.  In cooler weather, accelerators, heated materials or lowering the percentage of slag more...
The amount of slag cement added to a concrete mixture, as a percentage of cementitious material by weight, normally ranges from 20 to 80 percent.  The amount for a specific project depends on several factors including application, early and later age strength requirements, durability requirements and ambient temperature to name a few.  more...

 Loammi Baldwin : modified the use of hydraulic cement
Traditionally, canal locks were made waterproof by the use of a hydraulic cement composed in part of volcanic ash.
When the canal committee found that a similar ash was available from the Dutch West Indies it commissioned Josiah Banks, captain of the sloop Industry, to return with a cargo of forty tons of trass, or Dutch Terras as it was called.
The accepted procedure in forming the hydraulic cement had been to mix the trass with lime and water and then to beat it for a long time - the longer the mixture was beaten the harder the cement set.
