** Low heat cement is used for massive works like dams, retaining walls, etc.

** Ordinary Portland Cement is used for general works except the area having sulphate attack(OPC is least resistant to Sulphate attack).

For road pavement - rapid hardening cement.

For massive concrete - low heat cement.

For canal lining or sever - portland slag cement.

Rapid hardening cement is used in the repair of roads & Blast furnace slag cement is used in the construction of road b/c road payment are constructed over soil and soil is generally rich in sulphates and BFSC has good resistance against sulphate attack.
