PPC IS BETTER THAN OPC. PPC gets better lateral strength. It is corrosion resistant, more resistant to chemicals, alkalies when compared to OPC.

MUMBAI -- India's cement demand could grow 9%-10% in the next fiscal year if the government keeps its promise to continue the push for greater infrastructure spending, said a senior executive at ACC Ltd., a top producer of the building material in the country. The demand could grow 7.5%-8.5% otherwise, with a 6.0%-6.5% expansion in India's gross domestic product in the fiscal year starting April 1, 2010, ACC Chief Commercial Officer J. Datta Gupta said in a recent interview. India is increasing its investments in the infrastructure sector by building roads, ports and other facilities to support the economy's rapid expansion. That, along with the huge opportunity in the housing sector, is at...

Washington, September 10 (ANI): A team of scientists has finally decoded the basic molecular structure of cement. The three-dimensional crystalline structure of cement hydrate - the paste that forms and quickly hardens when cement powder is mixed with water - had eluded scientific attempts at decoding till now. 'Cement is so widely used as a building material that nobody is going to replace it anytime soon. But it has a carbon dioxide problem, so a basic understanding of this material could be very timely,' said MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Professor Sidney Yip, co-author of the research paper. 'We believe this work is a first step toward a consistent model of the molecular s...

steel and concrete may be rightly reviewed as complementary to each other and are likely to go hand in hand as concrete brings the strength whereas steel is cost efficient.

Social entrepreneurship in India is making greater strides towards inclusiveness by involving every strata of society to tap into the momentum and growth of the country. However, in spite of several initiatives, social entrepreneurship eco-system in India is not coming together as well as it needs to. Their focus and collaboration on solutions should be directed towards not merely one-off acts of charity, but adding up to a vast array of sustainable services across sectors and industries that help people at the base of the pyramid, which is not happening in the country now. In the post-independent era, many enterprising men with social bent of mind had ventured into setting up educational institutions, which helped the country to move out of the chaotic state into a vibrant and democratic environment. But over the decades, these established institutions which laid the foundation for modern India, because of their sheer size, were forced to evolve into large business enterprises...
