Cement is one of the most vital ingredients to the construction industries since it forms glue that holds concrete together and it plays a significant role in determining the cost of concrete, its environmental impact and durability, although it comprises only less than 15% of the mass of the concrete. FTIR spectroscopic study was carried out for three different branded Nepali ordinary Portland cement (OPC) collected from the local cement dealers of Patan city of Kathmandu valley (Nepal) to characterize their constituent properties in this study. The properties of the locally available cements in Nepal can be determined quickly and cost effectively using a simple method of FTIR spectra analysis to known whether the available cement samples are in good condition or not. The property of the cement sample of Brand-2 was found to be deteriorated due to hydration as compared to other two cement samples of Brand-1 and Brand-3 used in this study.
