What is the difference between concrete, cement, and Portland cement?
Best Answer: cement is a binder, a substance which sets and hardens independently, and can bind other materials together. Portland is a specific type of cement used to make concrete. It is a combination of calcium, aluminum, silicon and iron oxides in specific combinations, made from a raw material mix of limestone, chalk, and clay, or their natural blend, lime marl. Concrete is a construction material that consists of Portland cement, construction aggregate (generally gravel and sand) and water.
