Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Components**: The question mentions cement, gravel, sand, and water. These are the primary components used in construction. 2. **Understand the Mixture**: When cement is mixed with gravel, sand, and water, it forms a composite material. Each component plays a specific role in the mixture. 3. **Define the Resulting Material**: The mixture of cement, gravel, sand, and water is commonly used in construction. The resulting material has specific properties that make it suitable for building. 4. **Name the Material**: The mixture of cement, gravel, sand, and water is called "concrete." 5. **Discuss the Properties of Concrete**: Concrete is known for its high compressive strength, making it ideal for construction. However, it has low tensile strength, which means it is not as effective in resisting stretching or pulling forces. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that cement mixed with gravel, sand, and water is called concrete. ---

Cement is one of the most important building material of the present time. It is a dirty greyish heavy powder containing calcium aluminates and silicates. The important raw materials neede for the manufacture of cement are limestone, clay and gypsum. the main step in the manufacture of cement is the heating of raw meal or slurru in the rotary kiln at a very high temperature 1400-1600^(@)C . Finally 2% or 3% gypsum is added. When cement is mixed with water and left as such for sometime, it becomes a hard mass. This is known as setting of cement. It is believed that varous aluminates and silicates present in the cement form hydrates with water which seperate in the form of gel. the gel formed start losing water partly by evaporation and partly by forming hydrates with unhydrated constituents. this results in the formation of a hard mass. Portland cement does not contain
