About 'Understanding Cement'

‘Understanding Cement’ is produced by WHD Microanalysis Consultants Ltd., a small privately-owned company in the United Kingdom specializing in the examination of cementitious materials. WHD has its own web site - www.whd.co.uk – for the examination of cement and concrete, mainly by microscopy.

‘Understanding Cement’ started in about 1990 as a seminar and has gradually grown. The internet is an ideal medium for distributing educational and training material – hence this site, which we hope will also continue to grow over the years.

The material on this site, and in the other ‘Understanding Cement’ products, is intended to reflect mainstream scientific thinking concerning cement and concrete. This is not a place for pet theories that have not undergone the normal procedure of peer review.

We very much hope the information here will be interesting, informative and useful for people with an interest in cement and concrete and we would be delighted to hear from anyone with comments or suggestions about the content of the site. Please contact us using the form on the contact page.
