How does low heat cement has less compressive strength?

Srinivas said:   10 years ago
For low heat cement heat of hydration is very low compare to other cement I think.

I think strength is not low.

MANIRUL said:   8 years ago
I think D is the correct answer.

Hitesh Nagar said:   7 years ago
Low heat cement has less early strength.

But ultimate strength is same as other cement. It is used for mass concrete work.

Ganesh said:   7 years ago
D answer is correct.

Low heat cement process high strength for example in dicalcium silicate it is low heat cement but process high strength so we use for Mass concrete works.
