CEMENTS FOR STRUCTURAL CONCRETE IN COLD REGIONS

A literature search was undertaken to collect information on cements which could be used in structural concrete and would cure at low temperatures. In the literature search, 18 types of cements or concretes manufactured by various firms were reviewed. Trade names are identified with their cement or concrete description, temperature range for curing, use experience and application, approximate cost (in 1976), and reference source or manufacturer.
