USE OF DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS IN CEMENT INDUSTRY

Compressive strength of cement is one of the dominant property. This can be find out as per regular test procedure but results can be obtained only after 7 or 28 days. To overcome this difficulty various approaches has been adopted, in this paper we have tried to formulate the same with the help of Dimension Analysis method by which results can be obtained within 1 day. We have used the modified Buckingham-pi theorem for this analysis. The results of dimensional analysis so obtained are then compared with the experimental results whichwe have performed at K.I.T.’s College Of Engineering, Kolhapur’s laboratory. The comparison shows the validity of this method.
