Course. Replacements for cement, like fork handles are... handles for forks. Everyone knows that don't they?
Give us a clue; in what context? ;)Quote:

Sources like drax power station .
Tarmac Topblock use it .
Its used to try and cut down on mineral extraction that is needed to produce cement.

this is why they use replacements
Cheers bud.
So basically its a more environmentally friendly alternative to using cement.
Can only see one book in the library catalogue when searching for cement replacements. Too short notice for you to borrow it! (Tuesday:eek:) If this sounds like it's on the right lines I'll get it out in the morning and you can phone me (07985204074). I'm assuming you've Googled it already?Quote:

Ive not googled that specific book no. I'll go to my uni's library again 2mz and type that book into the computer systems. Tuesday i know, i kept putting it off. Ive spoken to alot of fellow classmates who have already done this experiment and everyone of the struggled. I think i have a bit of an idea what to write about now.Quote:

Remember, if you're quoting something verbatim then put quotation marks around it.
Oh, i thought you meant for the book. Yes i did google 'cement replacements', all i seemed to get was these companies who have something to do with concrete and mention the words 'cement replacements' - I guess thats how google brought it up.Quote:

Al My wife is doing an Msc at the moment, she uses the BSI 2002 system but your uni should provide you with a reference guide as to which system to use. if they don't we can email you a copy (PDF) of the system used by the uni my is working with.Quote:

Ive written about a page so far, using the technique called 'blagging'.
I got my mum and dad to read it and they said it makes sense and seems to be answering the question.
If i get stuck, i'll PM you....hopefully i should find what i need.
