OBS

The principal hydraulic cements are: ... natural cement, a naturally occurring argillaceous limestone, calcined and pulverized, that is slower-setting and less uniform in quality than portland cement; aluminous, or high-alumina, cement, which consists mainly of calcium aluminates and is quick-strengthening and highly resistant to sulfate attack and high temperature; and expansive cements, which are usually of high sulfate and alumina contents, to produce expansion after hardening or to compensate for the expected drying shrinkage.

OBS

The Dictionary of Earth Sciences (MIEAR) gives "quick hardening cement" as an equivalent to "ciment à prise rapide", but we think that it rather corresponds to the French term "ciment à durcissement rapide".
