Cement Composition Data

Description

The cement data frame has 13 rows and 5 columns.

13 samples of Portland cement were set. For each sample, the percentages of the four main chemical ingredients was accurately measured. While the cement was setting the amount of heat evolved was also measured.

Usage

data(cement)

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

x1
The percentage by weight of tricalcium aluminate in the sample.
x2
The percentage by weight of tricalcium silictate in the sample.
x3
The percentage by weight of tricalcium alumino ferrite in the sample.
x4
The percentage by weight of dicalcium silictate in the sample.
y
The heat (in calories per gramme of cement) evolved while the sample was setting.
