| Publisher Description: The per capita consumption of cement is often considered an important indicator of economic progress. The demand for permanent housing requires production of binders to be significantly increased. A range of binders, especially lime, lime-pozzolana or special earths, can be more appropriate to certain types of building such as housing. Alternatives such as lime offer tremendous potential in reducing the shortage and cost of building. This book looks at the pros and cons of Ordinary Portland Cement compared with alternative binders. |
