Here is the difference between Concrete and Cement;

Cement: It is one of the components of concrete. Cement is the element which blends chemically with the water to bind (cement) all the rest together. In addition to the cement and water are the aggregates and additives. The aggregates typically clean, graded, crushed stone and clean sand. The clean part means that there are minimum amounts of fines also known as dust in the aggregates as they weaken the mix.

Concrete: It comprises of cement, sand, and gravel or other fine and coarse aggregate. The addition of water activates the cement, which is the element responsible for binding the mix together to form a solid. Concrete is a complete building material use for foundation walls, concrete slabs, patios, and many other masonry structures.

 

Cement Uses and Its Properties

Additives are different chemicals or materials add to alter the attributes of the concrete. These may be to stimulate or inhibit the setting (hardening) of the concrete or for other purposes. Finally, there is usually some reinforcement add in the form of steel bars, welded wire mesh, or other materials to improve the concrete’s strength under tension.

Cement is a fine binding powder that never use alone but is an element of both concrete and mortar, as well as stucco, tile grout, and thin-set adhesive.

 

Concrete Uses and Its Properties

It is uniquely versatile because it starts out as a simple, dry mixture, then enhances a flexible, semi-liquid material. This is capable of making into any mold or shape, and which dries into the hard-as-rock material we know as concrete.

In many concrete structures, metal reinforcement, such as wire mesh, added for durability. To minimize the cracking that can happen in solid concrete. Concrete is a very strong structural building material comprises of cement, sand, and larger aggregate (gravel).

 

Points To Consider are as follows;

In conclusion, people can purchase ready-made concrete mixes in bags that combine cement, sand, and gravel so that all you need to do is add water. These are useful for small projects, such as anchoring fence posts or building small pads.

For large projects, you can either buy bags of cement and mix them with sand and gravel yourself. Using a wheelbarrow or other large container. You can order premixed concrete delivered by a truck (commonly called “ready-mix” concrete).
