The Role of Cement in Concrete Strength in Various Climatic Conditions
The Role of Cement in Concrete Strength in Various Climatic Conditions Concrete is one of the most widely used building materials, and its durability is directly related to the type of cement and environmental conditions. Changes in climate—including extreme heat, freezing cold, high humidity, and even chlorinated environments like coastal areas—can impact the quality and lifespan of concrete. Cement, as the main component in concrete mixtures, plays a decisive role in its strength and stability. Choosing the right type of cement and using appropriate chemical and mineral additives can help structures become more resistant to cracking, corrosion, and reduced durability.
