Blended Cement
Blended
cement can be defined as uniform mix of ordinary
Portland cement (OPC) and blending materials such as silica
fumes, fly ash, limestone and slag to enhance its properties for different
uses.
Characteristic of Blended Cement.
Ø Reduces water demand.
Ø Enhances resistance to
sulphate attack and chloride protection.
Ø Improves workability and
pumpability.
Ø Lower drying shrinkage and
creep.
Ø Lower potential for alkali
aggregate reaction.
Ø Decreases bleed control
Types of Blended Cement
Ø Types IS (X), Portland
Slag Cement
Ø Type IP (X),
Portland-Pozzolana Cement
Ø Type IL (X),
Portland-Limestone Cement
Ø Type IT, Ternary Blended
Cement
Uses of Blended Cement
Ø It is used in mining
application.
Ø It is used in major
engineering project.
Ø It is used in road construction
where pavement recycling and stabilization is done.
Ø It is used in domestic
construction.
Ø It is used in precast
concrete.
Advantages of Blended cement
Ø Water consumption is less
by using this cement so it is easy to work with shape.
Ø After 28 days strength is
stronger than OPC.
Ø The permeability of
concrete is low thus reducing penetration of aggressive water run off compounds
which in turn increases the life cycle of Concrete.
Ø It decreases the crack
formation which occurred due to thermal vibration of temperature.
Ø Material used in this
cement is the industrial product which reduces the use of natural resources
like limestone, silica and clay.
