Alternatives to type 2 cement
Abstract
Concrete mixtures incorporating fly ash were investigated as possible alternatives to mixtures using Type II cements. The mixture characteristics considered were strength, resistance to freezing and thawing and sulfates, heat of hydration, and volume stability. The data on the initial testing program not included in the interim report is presented and the second testing program is described. The results indicate that concretes containing IP or Type I cement with fly ash can be an acceptable alternate to Type II; however, it should be recognized that more scaling in the presence of deicers may be expected.
