Abstract:
There has been a trend toward replacing the production of Type I/II and II/V cements with Type IL cement or portland limestone cement (PLC). PLC exhibits greater variability from source to source which can lead to challenges such as altered initial setting characteristics, variations in compressive strength gain rates, and changes in bleed rates. This necessitates adjustments to mixture designs, placing and finishing techniques, and polishing methods.
