STRENGTH AND DURABILITY OF CONCRETES MADE WITH TYPE 10 CEMENTS USED IN ONTARIO. CONCRETE DURABILITY. KATHERINE AND BRYANT MATHER INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE, HELD AT ATLANTA, GEORGIA, USA, 27 APRIL-MAY 1987

This paper describes a laboratory investigation of concrete to determine the effect of the various brands of type 10 portland cement with and without interground limestone on the strength and freeze-thaw durability. Two classes of concrete and two combinations of aggregates were used in the investigations. It has been found that there is a variation in the strength of concrete made with the various cements. The limestone addition increases the concrete strength. Concrete made with each of the cements had a very good resistance to freezing and thawing in water. However, there was a considerable variation in the resistance to salt scaling. (Author/TRRL)
