Cements, in a general sense, are adhesive materials which are capable of bonding together fragments or particles of solid matter into a compact whole. This definition covers a wide variety of materials, but for engineering purposes it is generally restricted to ‘calcareous cements’, i.e. those which contain compounds of lime as their principal constituent or, sometimes, certain allied compounds of magnesium.
