Aug 27, 2008#0183;#32;concrete is a mixture of cement {(limestone heated to become calcium oxide quick lime ) the cement actually becomes slaked lime calcium hydrode when water is added } and sand density of g/cm3. So this means the resultant concrete will have a slightly lower density ( dependent on the ratio of cement to sand ) than limestone but
Dec 30, 2009#0183;#32;The hardcore (ballast of broken stone) in concrete is to increase the strength of the concrete, to save on cement and to prevent cracking during the curing process. Sand is
Jan 18, 2007#0183;#32;Portland cement(the ingredient that makes concrete concrete) is manufactured from limestone. Also, many roadway''s base material is crushed limestone. Limestone is
Jan 31, 2010#0183;#32;The clinker is ground with gypsum to help the setting time of the finished product, cement. Limestone therefore is a source of calcium for the chemical formulation and is a cheap one at that and...
Apr 21, 2008#0183;#32;To give the finished concrete the flexure to bend instead of crack, according to engineering reports, which conflicts with the engineering reports that a concrete structure will fail when it has flexure. Go figure. It''s all about the money, potash is used for cheaper materials to make concrete with, that''s all. YAWN
why is limestone used in cement/concrete? Yoo Answers Oct 23, 2006Limestone is crushed up with clay (or shale) and heated in large rotating kilns, a little calcium sulfate powder is added to the cement to stop it setting as soon as water is mixed in.
