AGE IMPROVES CEMENT,
SAYS EXPERT IN MAGAZINE
Hardness Varies with Age, FluctuatIng
According to Purity of Ingre-
dients-Weather Conditions
Important Factor

Good cement continues to improve in
strength indefinitely, Municipal Engineer
ing says, after it has been put in place in
concrete or mortar. Occasionally a fairly
good cement will show an increase in
strength under test for a short time and
then some decrease in strength under test
for a short time, and then some decrease
followed by a slight increase.
Some cements styled Portland after an
increase for short time show pro-
gressive decrease resulting in few OBJ
served cases in disintegration. Such ce-
ments have impurities. either natural or
acquired, sufficient to take them out of
the class of Portland cements, and proper
chemical examination would reject them.
1t is possible that the cements showing
a temporary reduction in strength are
passing through period of elimination of
some Objectionable material and will con-
tinue to improve thereafter, says Muni-
cipal Engineering, but the fact that such
reduction in strength is observed in the
test speciments is usually considered suf-
ficient to throw doubt on the acceptability
of the cement showing 1t for the highest
class of work requiring permanence and
resistance to weather conditions.
