(Solved)Ban on High-Alumina Cement in Structural
In the early seventies a number of problems occurred with structural members manufactured from High Alumina Cement Concrete (HAC). High Alumina Cement undergoes a crystalline re-arrangement known as conversion which can result in a loss in strength particularly if the original water/cement ratio was not strictly controlled.HAC concrete has achieved a certain notoriety following the collapse

High Alumina CementManufacturing Pros Cons
High Alumina Cement (HAC) is also known as calcium aluminate cement (CAC) or aluminous cement is composed of calcium aluminates. High alumina cement was first manufactured by Lafarge the cement producer and became available in the UK in 1925. It has good resistance to be resistant to the chemical attack which is required in marine construction work.

Cement clinkerWikipedia
Cement clinker is a solid material produced in the manufacture of Portland cement as an intermediary product. Clinker occurs as lumps or nodules usually 3 millimetres (0.12 in) to 25 millimetres (0.98 in) in diameter. It is produced by sintering (fusing together without melting to the point of liquefaction) limestone and aluminosilicate materials such as clay during the cement kiln stage.

Question on High Alumina Cement (HAC)
Answer. High Alumina Cement (HAC) differs from Portland cement being composed calcium aluminates rather than calcium silicates. Its rapid strength development made HAC popular from 1950 to 1970. However mineralogical ´conversion´ sometimes caused reductions in concrete strength and increased vulnerability to chemical attack.
