CONCRETE COMPONENTS (CEMENT )
Classification Characteristics Applications
Fairly high C3S content for General construction
Type I General purpose
good early strength
development
(most buildings,
bridges, pavements,
precast units, etc)
Low C3A content (<8%) Structures exposed to
Type II Moderate sulfate
resistance soil or water containing
sulfate ions
Ground more finely, may have Rapid construction,
Type III High early strength
slightly more C3S
cold weather
concreting
Low content of C3S (<50%) Massive structures
Type IV Low heat of hydration
and C3A
(slow reacting) such as dams.
Very low C3A content (<5%) Structures exposed to
Type V High sulfate resistance
high levels of sulfate
ions
No C4AF, low MgO Decorative (otherwise
White White color

has properties similar
to Type I)
