Concrete is the second most consumed material after water, with nearly three tonnes used annually for each person on the planet. Being one of the basic elements for setting up strong and healthy infrastructure, Cement plays a crucial role in economic development of any country.

    In response to the increasing demand for cement, the Addis Ababa and Massawa cement factories were established in 1964 and 1965, respectively, with 70,000 tonnes of clinker per year (tcpa) capacity each. The construction and commissioning of Mugher Cement Factory in 1984 allowed a rapid increase in capacity to 480,000 tcpa after a period of stagnation in the early 1980’s when output had levelled off at about 180,000 tcpa. Mugher Cement Factory (MCF), which was commissioned in 1984 with a capacity of 300,000 tcpa, doubled its capacity to 600,000 tcpa in 1990, with the construction of a second line. The above developments indicate the gradual growth of the cement industry in Ethiopia.…

    Introduction Lehigh White Cement Company is committed to your success, with technical personnel who understand the interactions between white cement and common chemical admixtures ready to assist you. This technical bulletin discusses considerations experienced users of gray portland cement may overlook when making the switch to white cement. It is not intended to supplant the role of admixture suppliers who are the authorities on their products. Admixture company personnel have a comprehensive understanding of their products and we encourage you seek out these professionals early and often. Admixtures Modern portland cement concrete, including white cement-based mixes, rely on chemical admixtures to optimize their performance and reliability. Chemical admixtures are liquid solutions or dry compounds that when added to concrete during the mixing process can improve and/or control set times, workability, air content and hardened properties of the mix. They most often achieve these goals by altering the physical and chemical interactions of the cement and water to modify the paste portion of the mix. Admixtures are powerful tools that aid placement and enhance a structure’s service life; however, they are not a substitute for sound concrete mix designs and placement practices. In addition to contacting your admixture supplier and Lehigh technical representatives, we recommend the following references for more information on admixtures: • ACI Education Bulletin E4-03, Chemical Admixtures For Concrete • ACI 212.3R-04, Chemical Admixtures for Concrete • ACI 212.4R-04, Guide for the Use of High-Range Water-Reducing Admixtures (Superplasticizers) in Concrete Admixture Interactions - Low, Mid and High Range Water Reducers Chemical admixture/cement interactions normally correlate to the admixture base chemistry. Section 4.1 of ACI Education Bulletin E4-03 explains that it is appropriate to categorize chemical admixtures by…
