Abstract:
Recently, ASTM International and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) have revised their cement standards to bring them more closely in line with each other. ASTM standards are used more often in commercial construction and AASHTO standards are used more often in transportation projects; there is some overlap in the use of the different standards. The organizations undertook the harmonization effort to help promote consistency and enhance durability.
