Type I |
|
Portland
Type I General
purpose portland
cement meets ASTM
C-150. Its uses
include pavements,
sidewalks,
reinforced concrete
buildings, bridges,
railway structures,
tanks reservoirs,
culverts water pipe
and masonry units |
| Portland
Type I-A |
Portland
cement that
incorporates
air-entraining
agents. This
(air-entraining)
cement produces
concrete with
improved resistance
to freeze-thaw action and to
scaling caused by
chemicals applied
for snow and ice
removal. Meets ASTM
C-150. |
| Portland
Type I/II |
A
convertible portland
cement that meets
ASTM C-150 for
either Type I or
Type II
requirements. This
cement can be used
interchangeably for
general construction
or where sulfate
attack is a concern. |
| Portland
Type II |
 |
Offers
moderation of heat
of hydration and
sulfate resistance,
and meets ASTM
C-150. Type II
generates less heat
than Type I and is
used in structures
where sulfate attack
is of
concern.
Applications include
drainage structures,
piers, large
retaining walls,
mass dams, mat
foundations and
anywhere that
sulfate
concentration in
ground waters are
higher than normal.
|
| Portland
Type III |
 |
Provides
higher strength at
earlier stages in
the curing (high
early) process. It
is used when forms
are to be removed as
soon
as possible or when
the structure must
be put into service
quickly. In cold
weather, its use
permits a reduced
controlled curing
period and it
complies with ASTM
C-150.
|
| Masonry
Type N |
 |
For
normal masonry
construction,
manufactured to meet
ASTM C-91 and ASTM
C-270 “Mortar for
Unit Masonry”.
Masonry cement is an
intimate blend of
portland and finely
ground limestone
which enhances water
retention,
workability, board
life and durability.
|
| Masonry
Type S |
|
 |
Similar
to Type N but more
than double the
strength.
|
| Masonry
Type M |
Similar
to Type N but more
than three times the
strength. |
