Cementitious materials include the variety of ceramic products that may be mixed with water or another liquid to form a paste. The paste, which is temporarily plastic, can be molded and may or may not have aggregate added to it. Later, it hardens or sets to a rigid mass. The simple cementing materials, such as limes and plasters, are produced by driving off a liquid or gas from some natural mineral. ... The more complex hydraulic cements derive their cementing properties from formation of new chemical compounds during the manufacturing process. 5, record 1, English, - cementing%20material

The NRC has reviewed a number of alternative [radioactive waste] disposal methods and concluded that it will focus its efforts on concepts that utilize cementitious materials with earthen covers and that only minimal effort will be spent on aboveground vaults or mined caverns. 6, record 1, English, - cementing%20material

Quelques dictionnaires bilingues(cf. LEBAT 1971) traduisent le terme anglais «cementitious material» par «matériau cimentaire», mais ce terme n’ est pas attesté en français commun et constitue un calque de l'anglais. D'ailleurs, le ROBER 1985 donne le mot «cimentaire» pour rare et l'on s’attendrait plutôt à l'adjectif «cimentier», attesté au LAROG 1982 et qu'on trouve notamment dans le terme «industrie cimentière»(UNIVE 1984, volume 4, page 1052). 2, record 1, French, - liant%20hydraulique
