Free Cement Glossary
Free images of cement and concrete you can use as screensaver/desktop images

There are currently four downloadable images taken using a petrographic microscope: two are images of cement clinker, one is of a silica particle undergoing alkali-silica reaction and one is of a chalcedony aggregate particle.

All four images are technically interesting and make very attractive screensaver or desktop images. Beware, though, your colleagues will probably want them too when they see them! A description accompanies the images, describing the main features.

Our free Cement Glossary (a downloadable pdf) contains over 100 definitions and chemical formulae - just download it and maybe put a shortcut/alias to it on your desktop as a ready reference. A screenshot of part of a page is shown below to give an idea of the content.

As a Newsletter Subscriber, you will receive the Newsletter about once a month, giving you:

New screensaver/desktop images to download
Summaries of new pages and articles on the understanding-cement website
Information on new Understanding Cement books or e-books
e-seminar and live seminar information

The "Understanding Cement" web site already contains a lot of information, but we will be adding much more, so watch this space!

The newsletter will be our way of keeping in touch with everyone who finds this site useful and I very much hope you will subscribe. Thank you!
