Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFExplanation:
If the fineness of the cement is greater, surface area of the particles of the cement is also greater. And greater surface area leads to an increase in rapid hydration reaction (i.e. exothermic reaction between cement particles and water).
And hydration reaction is the backbone of the strength development.
So, increase in fineness of the cement will ultimately lead to increase in development of the strength of the cement.
