What is the function of the floor screed?

The function of floor screed is to make a structural level floor surface above a waterproof membrane. It is usually made by either pumping in a special mix of self- levelling runny 'concrete - like' material or more traditionally a sharp sand and cement mix. Traditional screed is tamped by a large flat wooden or aluminum beam, which is called a screed, from which screed gets it's name. It should be very flat once finished and can be tiled once it has dried out, which can take weeks. It is usually laid over an insulation foam and often has electric heating elements or warm water pipes in it to make it into a large radiator. Thin screed needs to be reinforced to make it strong enough for the loads that are put on top of it which can be steel mesh or special fibres. This means that thinner screeds are often made up of specialist ingredients to make them self levelling and strong.

How can you make portland cement as quick setting and water resistance cement?

Please note that a key correction in terminology is essential before your question can be answered: use the word "concrete" instead of "cement." The answer is to modify your mix (i.e. Portland cement, sand, gravel, and water) by using hydraulic cement to repace part of the Portland cement. The higher the amount of hydraulic cement you add, the quicker the setting time and the impermeability. However, hydraulic cement sets so quickly that you have limit the amount of total mix so as to be able to pour it and form it before it sets.
