The terms "cement" and "Portland cement" are often used interchangeably in construction, but they represent distinct concepts. Cement is a broad category of finely ground inorganic materials that set and harden when mixed with water. Portland ceme

Among the physical properties of hydraulic binders, cement gravity (specific gravity, typically 3.10–3.20 for Portland cement) is often overlooked in favor of fineness and chemical composition. However, this value directly controls concrete yield,
