why mixing marble powder reduces setting time of cement
Answer Posted / faruk
Limestone powder or marble powder can improve the denseness of the hardened Portland cement paste due to its filling effect(it basically acts as a filler material).
"The hardening of concrete/cement before its hydration is known as setting of concrete" or "The hardening of concrete before it gains strength" or "The transition process of changing of concrete from plastic state to hardened state. Setting of concrete is based or related to the setting of cement paste. Thus cement properties greatly affect the setting time(setting time reduces)

A doubly reinforced concrete beam is 25 cm wide and 50cm deep to the centre of tension reinforcement. The centre of compression is steel is 5cm from the compression edge. The areas of the compression and the tension steel are 10.16cm2 and 12.56 cm2 if m=18 and the bending moment at the section is 7,000,000 N-cm. Calculate the stress in concrete and steel.
