Preface
Cement has been used for millennia. However, no one knows for sure who first came up with the idea to use a cement substance to make civil engineering materials. In general terms, the word cement refers to any binder that sets, hardens, and tightly holds other materials together. Most used cement is inorganic and hydraulic including Portland cement and other cements (e.g., calcium aluminate cement, supersulfated cement, calcium sulfoaluminate cements, and geopolymer cement). Cement is seldom used solely but is used with sand to produce mortar, or with sand and gravel to produce concrete. Therefore, cementitious composites (also called cement-based composites) refer to all materials made of cement in a generalized concept. They includ
