Concrete: its ingredients and impacts. Concrete is a mix of several different materials: water, fine aggregates (or sand), coarse aggregates (or gravel), chemical additives, and, most importantly, cement. Cement is what binds all of these ingredients together to give concrete its durability and distinctive, grey appearance.
used by 99 percent of India'' cement industry. The cement industry is primarily concerned with minimising energy use, as well as the clinker issue and CO 2 emissions. In order to overcome, the Indian cement industry creates composite cements such as Portland Boslona Cement (PBC), Portland Slag Cement (PSC), and mixed cement. In 2017, y ash
