Protection of
concrete against physical, chemical and mechanical effects is directly associated
with the properties of materials mixed into its compound and mixture. Among them,
cement has a distinctive role. When cement is investigated both as a compound
of the concrete and the paste, it is quite significant in terms of durability,
service life and aesthetics. The greatest problem of cement usages is cracks negatively
affecting both the subjective properties and the properties of aggregate used with
it. The type and amount of cement used in a concrete, physical and chemical
properties, hydration process, mixing method and technique, its relation with aggregate
and water and additives depending on the time factor, have an effect both on
functionality and visual performance. In this study, key words such as
adherence, workability and cracking were taken into the center by dwelling on
the cement subject, and the possible problems were offered a solution in terms
of cause and effect relationship.
