A clinker contains 60 per cent alite, 15 per cent belite, 8 per cent aluminate and 10 per cent ferrite. What proportion is accounted for by the two silicates?

  • A.60 per cent
  • B.18 per cent
  • C.93 per cent
  • D.75 per cent

Answer: D

Adding 60 and 15 gives 75 per cent. The silicates dominate a Portland clinker and between them supply almost all of its strength, with the interstitial phases contributing comparatively little. Alite alone typically accounts for over half of a Portland clinker.
