Answer 1

Soundness of cement

Answer 2

The ability of the cement to maintain a constant volume is called the Soundness of cement.

• The soundness of the cement is determined by the consistency of volume change during the setting and hardening phases.
• If the volume change after setting and hardening are unstable, poor dimensional stability causes concrete structures to fail, lowering construction quality and potentially causing major accidents.
• Low-dimensional-stability cement will be discarded, and no future projects will use it.
