Portland Cement: hydraulic cement made by burning a mixture of clay and limestone in a rotary kiln and pulverizing the resulting clinker into a
CLASSIFICATION OF PORTLAND CEMENT
very fine powder, named for its resemblance to a limestone quarried on the Isle of Portland, England.

TYPE I Normal A Portland cement used for general construction, having none of the distinguishing qualities of the other types.

A Portland cement having a reduced content of tricalcium aluminate, making it more resistant to sulfates and causing it to generate less heat of hydration: used in
TYPE II Moderate general construction where resistance to moderate sulfate action is required or where heat buildup can be damaging, as in the construction of large piers and heavy
retaining walls.

A very finely ground Portland cement having an increased content of tricalcium silicate, causing it to cure faster and gain strength earlier than normal Portland cement:
TYPE III High Early Strength
used when the early removal of formwork is desired, or in cold-weather construction to reduce the time required for protection from low temperatures.

A Portland cement having a reduced content of tricalcium silicate and an increased content of dicalcium silicate, causing it; to generate less heat of hydration than
TYPE IV Low Heat
normal Portland cement; used in the construction of massive concrete structures, such as gravity dams, where a large buildup in heat can be damaging.

A Portland cement having a reduced content of tricalcium aluminate, lessening the need for gypsum, a sulfate normally added to cement to retard its setting time: used
TYPE V Sulfate Resisting
where resistance to severe sulfate action is required.

A Type I, Type II, or Type Ill Portland cement to which a small quantity of an air entraining agent has been inter-ground during manufacture; designated by the suffix A,
Air –Entraining Portland Cement
as in Type IA, Type IIA, or Type IllA.

A Portland cement produced from raw materials law in iron oxide and manganese oxide, the substances that give concrete its gray color; used in precast concrete work
White Portland Cement
and in the making of terrazzo, stucco, and tile grout.

 PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7
The Message (MSG)
6-7
Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into
prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything
coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ
displaces worry at the center of your life.

PROVERBS 16:3
New King James Version (NKJV)
3
Commit your works to the LORD,
And your thoughts will be established.

JEREMIAH 17:7-8
Living Bible (TLB)
7
But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the Lord his hope and confidence. 8 He
is like a tree planted along a riverbank, with its roots reaching deep into the water—a tree not
bothered by the heat nor worried by long months of drought. Its leaves stay green, and it goes right on
producing all its luscious fruit.
