Which is better OPC or SRC?

Which is better OPC or SRC?

SRC can be used for structural concrete wherever OPC or PPC or Slag Cement is usable under normal conditions. The use of SRC is particularly beneficial in such exposure/service conditions, where the concrete is exposed to the risk of deterioration due to sulphate attack.

What is difference between SRC and OPC cement?

SRC is Sulphate resistant cement generally used in some areas where external protection of concrete surface by coating is not possible & concrete is directly coming in contact with soil having sulphates. OPC is ordinary portland cement which is the most commonly used cement for all types of work.

What do you mean by SRC cement?

SRC is Sulphate Resisting Cement. This type of cement is used at places where the concrete is in direct contact with soil which has high sulphate content. It is also a prefered cement for mass construction because of its low heat of hydration.

Where is SRC cement used?

SRC is Sulphate resistant cement generally used in some areas where external protection of concrete surface by coating is not possible & concrete is directly coming in contact with soil having sulphates.

Why we use SRC cement?

Sulphate Resistant Cement (SRC) is a blended cement designed to improve the performance of concrete in the event of a sulphate attack. It also provides improved durability for concrete in most aggressive environments, reducing the risk of deterioration of the structure.

What is SRC material?

SRC ( Special Reinforced Concrete) is developed by Winsun for the building personalization, which is customized product. SRC is applied to various heterosexual decoration construction of internal and external building. It makes the building no longer limited to material and riches the form of construction.

Which cement is best for plaster?

There are three main Cement Grades from which you can choose. These are Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Portland Slag Cement (PSC) and Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) available in the market. OPC is available in two grades — 43 and 53. Both grades are considered best for plastering work.

What is the grade of SRC cement?

Birla SRC Cement

Is for SRC cement?

What is slag used in cement?

Slag cement is a hydraulic cement formed when granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is ground to suitable fineness and is used to replace a portion of portland cement. Once the slag has been cooled and ground to a usable fineness it is stored and shipped to suppliers throughout the United States.

When to use src and where to use OPC?

SRC can be used for structural concrete wherever OPC or PPC or Slag Cement is usable under normal conditions. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is the most common cement used in general concrete construction when there is no exposure to sulphates in the soil or groundwater.

What’s the difference between OPC and PPC cement?

OPC is produced by grinding limestone and secondary materials to fine powder. Compared to PPC, OPC usually takes little time for setting, which is important for large scale constructions, thus speeding up the process of determining the length of the construction period.

What’s the difference between SRC and Portland cement?

SRC (Sulphate Resisting Cement) Sulphate Resisting Cement is also a type of Portland cement in which the amount of Tricalcium aluminate (C3A) is restricted to lower than 5 % and (2 C3A + C4AF) is lower than 25%.

What’s the difference between OPC 33 and OPC 43?

This cement is available in the market in three grades namely OPC 33, OPC 43 and OPC 53.These grades imply the maximum strength of the particular cement after 28 days. The main differences in their characteristics and uses are: Pozzolana materials such as fly ash, volcanic ash are added to OPC so that PPC is created.
