13 Types of Cement and their Uses in Concrete Construction
4. Quick setting cement. The difference between the quick setting cement and rapid hardening cement is that quick-setting cement sets earlier. At the same time, the rate of gain of strength is similar to Ordinary Portland Cement, while quick hardening cement gains strength quickly. Formworks in both cases can be removed earlier.

Structural components like beams and footers require a PSI of 3,500-4,000. Concrete in this range is also a good choice for concrete slabs for storing RVs or other heavy loads. Concrete used in warehouses, factories, and other large-scale commercial properties often requires 4,000-5,000 PSI.

Explained: Cement vs. concrete — their differences, and …
Calcium silica hydrates, or CSH, are the key to cement's solidity. As they form, they combine, developing tight bonds that lend strength to the material. These connections have a surprising byproduct — they make cement incredibly porous. Within the spaces between the bonds of CSH, tiny pores develop — on the scale of 3 nanometers.

Cement
In the testing of most cements, a minimum strength at 3 and 7 days and sometimes 28 days is specified, but for rapid-hardening portland cement a test at 1 day also is sometimes required. For high-alumina cement, tests are required at 1 and 3 days. Strength requirements laid down in different countries are not directly comparable because of the ...

Concrete Strength Explained | Cor-Tuf
Flexural strength defines an unreinforced concrete slab or beam's ability to resist failure in bending. As concrete bends, it incurs tensile stresses that eventually result in failure (cracking). Flexural strength is normally about 10 to 15 percent of the compressive strength, depending on the specific concrete mixture.

Concrete Buying Guide
Cement is the main ingredient in concrete and acts as a binder. Portland cement is the most common cement used in concrete. Along with cement, concrete also contains water, a coarse aggregate, and a fine aggregate like gravel or sand. The strength and durability of concrete is determined mainly by the proportions of the ingredients.
