Storage of Cement
Proper
place for cement storage, duration, arrangement, atmospheric moisture content
etc. is necessary after the process of manufacturing and before using it in the
construction site.
Storage
of cement should be done with care as due to cement hygroscopic nature, the
cement absorbs moisture from the atmosphere very actively and hardens like
stone which cannot be used for constructional purpose.
During
storing of cement precautions should be taken against atmospheric moisture
content, duration of cement storage, place of storage, arranging cement bags,
withdrawal of cement bags.
Moisture
content is dangerous for cement. Presence of moisture in cement will make
cement useless so it should be stored that it cannot expose to the atmosphere.
The absorption of moisture from atmosphere will also depends up on the quality
of cement. If the cement is finely grained and very good in quality, then it
will absorb moisture vigorously. Hence, extra care should be taken for this
type of cement and it is better use it in its fresh stage.
Longer
the time reduces the strength of cement. It is preferred that the cement should
not be stored for more than 3 months. If cement is stored for longer time
then strength will decrease and it can be reactivated by vibro grinding
methods. Vibro grinding improves fineness quality of long period stored cement
and make it fit for the constructional purpose.
The
bags of cement should not be stored in open places. Preferably specially
designed storage sheds are good for cement storage. They can be used for longer
periods.
The
cement bags should be arranged one above the other which forms stack of cement
bags. This arrangements should be done on wooden platforms.
When
the time of using arrives, Withdrawal of cement bags from stacks happens. The
cement bags should be taken out in such a way that the bag first placed in
storage shed should be withdrawal first.
