Description
This study investigates the influence of the type and origin of cement on the final strength and quality of concrete. Cement is a crucial component in concrete production, directly affecting its durability and environmental resistance. The primary challenge in the industry is the failure to achieve the required concrete class within 28 days, often attributed to the cement's origin and composition. Through laboratory testing, this research compares the performance of various cement types from different origins to assess their impact on the compressive strength of concrete. The results aim to provide a clearer understanding of the types of cement used in Kosovo and their role in achieving the actual concrete class based on the cement content in the concrete mix.
