Testing of cement properties

Cement je jedan od najvažnijih sastojaka betona. Cement je vezivo, supstanca koja se upotrebljava pri gradnji, postavlja se, stvrdnjava i prianja drugim materijalima kako bi ih vezao zajedno. Rijetko se koristi samostalno, već najčešće povezuje kameni agregat. Potrebno je poznavati svojstva cementa kako bi znali odrediti njegovu čvrstoću i otpornost na različite utjecaje. Cilj ovog završnog rada je upoznavanje i ispitivanje fizikalno mehaničkih svojstava cementa i cementne paste.Cement is one of the most important ingredients of the concrete. Cement is a binder, a substance which is used in construction. Cement has to be layered, hardened and bound to another material in order to attach them together. It is rarely used on its own, it usually binds the crushed aggregate. The properties of cement need to be known in order to determine its strength and resistance to different effects. The aim of this final paper is getting an insight and analysing the physical and mechanical properties of the concrete and cement paste
