Portland cement
enables
In the late 19th century, rotary kilns improved the capacity and uniformity of clinker production, making large-scale industrial supplies of Portland cement more feasible; this does not mean that rotary kilns were invented before cement.

Concrete
applied in
Portland cement is a common binder for modern cement concrete; concrete also requires aggregates, forming, and curing.
Portland cement

Reinforced concrete
enables
Advances in modern cement and steel in the 19th century jointly enabled reinforced concrete; this relation represents only cement's role as a material prerequisite.
Limestone calcined clay cement

Portland cement
derived from
LC3 modifies the binder composition of a Portland clinker-based system, reducing the clinker proportion through the combined action of calcined clay and limestone.
