Lumps in cement indicate the presence of moisture, which can lead to partial hydration of the cement particles.
This reduces the effectiveness of the cement when mixed with other materials, leading to a decrease in the overall strength of the concrete.
Lumps can also cause uneven distribution of cement in the mix, further compromising the structural integrity of the concrete.
As a result, the overall strength of the concrete is decreased.
