Discuss the cement hydration process and its importance in developing the strength of concrete. Explain how it works according to the stages (dormant,setting,hardening stages). Discuss the setting time, its importance in concreting, and a practical solution to delay the initial setting time. Explain how the cement fineness, water-to-cement ratio, and curing temperature can promote or hinder the hydration.

An experiment to compare the tension bond strength of polymer latex modified mortar (Portland cement mortar to which polymer latex emulsions have been added during mixing) to that of unmodified mortar resulted in x = 18.15 kgf/cm2 for the modified mortar (m = 42) and y = 16.82 kgf/cm2 for the unmodified mortar (n = 31). Let μ1 and μ2 be the true average tension bond strengths for the modified and unmodified mortars, respectively. Assume that the bond strength distributions...
