Initial setting time of various types of cement:

• The value of the initial setting time is different for a different type of cement.
  

  ---

• The initial setting time of Quick setting cement is only 5 minute.
  

  ---

• The initial setting time of low heat cement is 60 minutes
  

  ---

• But usually, another type of cement has 30minutes is the value of initial setting time.

Please refer the above image for knowing the values of initial setting time and final setting time for various types of cement.

Thank you.

Difference between architecture and civil engineering:

 Here I am discussing major differences between architecture and civil engineering, they are as follows:

1) When we talk about duration of course, then

• Civil engineering- 4 years
• Architecture- 5 years

2) Responsibility:

•  civil engineer: construction of road bridges and tunnels buildings Railway’s airport’s underpasses, etc.
• Architect: design buildings, monuments, bridges with a more aesthetical view.

3) Most important parameter:

• Civil engineer: the strength of the structure is a more important aspect for civil engineer
• Architect: an architect give more importance to an aesthetical appearance of the structure

4) Eligibility criteria:

• Civil engineering: HSC (physics, chemistry and maths subject) with at least 50% marks and IIT, AIEEE and other university level entrance examinations are conducted each year for the admission of civil engineering course.
• Architecture: HSC( physics, chemistry, math) with at least 50% marks and NATA, AIEEE and other university level entrance examinations are conducted for admission to architecture course.

5) Focused Area:

• Civil engineering- civil engineering field is mainly dealing with the mathematical and scientific aspects of the structure. construction and design, parameters are included in civil engineering
• Architecture- architecture deals with the down look and artistic aspect of designing a building
