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.

Low heat setting time is 60 mins. Final setting time is 600 mins (IS:12600), used for mass concrete like dams. I have a doubt about its compressive strength.

In Cement heat of hydration and early strength gaining properties due to C3A & C3S.
In law heat cement C3A & C3S content is less, thus heat of hydration is less . And low heat cement thus has less initial compressive strength compared to normal.
But, Ultimate strength of low heat cement is more than normal cement.

In low heat cement c2s containt is high. It means least Heat of hydration and least rate of Hydration.
