This question was addressed to me in an interview for job.

My question is based upon Applications of Types of Cement topic in division Types of Cement and Testing of Cement of Concrete Technology

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(a) Rapid Hardening Cement

Rapid Hardening Cement is used in construction where high strength is required in a short period of time. It achieves faster strength development compared to ordinary Portland cement, making it ideal for situations where the structure needs to bear load quickly after casting, such as in road construction or precast concrete elements.
