“…It is used for structural and non-structural purposes. Goldstein believes that 1 tonne of concrete is produced per person annually (Asef et al, 2022). To strengthen the building structure successfully, cement utilized during assembly must have certain features such as strength and setting time.…”

“…The cement performance will be good if the above-mentioned qualities remain within the prescribed limitations. A range of tests are done to assure the quality of cement in accord with the requirements of the relevant standards (Asef et al, 2022). The amount of cement in the concrete mixture has a direct effect on the production cost, which in turn is reliant on its quality.…”

Cement is a key component of concrete; its qualities impact the properties of concrete created using a particular type of cement. In Pakistan, cement brands are used for an enormous amount. As a result, the cement qualities must fulfill the standards defined by the rules. This research compares the chemical properties of Paidaar, Lucky, DG, Fauji, and Bestway cement brands. This research compares the chemical properties of Paidaar, Lucky, DG, Fauji, and Bestway cement brands. The chemical analysis of cement was used to compute the compound composition of C3S, C2S, C3A, and C4AF. It was discovered that the Al 2 O 3 and SO 3 levels in Paidaar and Fauji cement exceeded the specified limits. The presence of more SO 3 causes sulphates in cement to expand. Furthermore, a study of four key components (C3S, C2S, C3A, and C4AF) revealed that Paidaar, Lucky, and Fauji cement have less C3S and more C2S, as a result, when compared to other cement brands, it has the lowest strength. When different brands' chemical compositions were compared, the Paidaar, Lucky, DG, Fauji, and Bestway cements fulfilled the standards' recommended ranges. To ensure the quality specified by the standards, Paidaar, Lucky, and Fauji cement require significant quality control during the manufacturing process.

Cement is one of the key components of concrete, and the qualities of a particular type of cement will affect the attributes of concrete made with that cement. The influence of variations in cement brand attributes that are available in Pakistan is examined in this study. Poor cement choice may affect how long a concrete building project will last. Fineness, cement consistency, concrete compressive strength, and mortar cube strength all grow with cement fineness since they all have a positive relationship with each other. This study aimed to investigate a few particular mechanical and physical characteristics of eight cement brands used in Punjab, Pakistan. The brands of cement that were compared were Kohat, Askari, Bestway, Paidaar, DG, Pioneer, Flying, and Fauji cement. The testing was carried out in a lab and according to ASTM guidelines. In contrast, Kohat had 5.17%, Askari had 8.67%, Bestway had 3%, DG had 2.67, Flying had 9.67, and Fauji cement had 6.33%, with only Paidaar above the allowed limits. Kohat and Paidaar cement's typical consistency was 30%, DG cement was 26%, and Bestway cement was 26%; all of them fell within the range of (26%- 33%). The 28-day compressive strength test results for DG cement and Bestway cement were 7787.74 Psi and 7225.17 Psi, respectively. The strength of Pioneer and Flying cement was found to be lower than that of other cement brands. Except for DG and Bestway cement, all eight brands of cement are used for all structural elements. Bestway cement is much superior for high-rise structures and heavy structural members. Consequently, by comparing the trace element concentration of various brands of Portland cement in Pakistan, the study evaluates the impact of trace element content on cement quality and concrete strength.
