Abstract
The present work deals with a comparative study of the physical-mechanical characteristics of different types of cement CEM II 42.5R produced and used in Cameroon. Indeed, the recent policy of integration and promotion of products in the sub-region has allowed some manufacturers (04) to settle in Cameroon and propose their products that characteristics are most often ignored by consumers. In order to handle this work correctly, we have conducted several tests on cements CEM II 42.5R of CIMENCAM and DANGOTE. These trials were carried out on fresh concrete, mortar, and also on a normalized cement paste. The present study mainly shows the specificities and the characteristics of CEM II 42.5R cement from other brands.
