GGBS Blast furnace slag cement obtains strength at a lower price.

Low heat cement is used in massive concrete like dams therefore to reduce heat of hydration LHC concrete is used which have low strength in the beginning but gains same strength of opc after 3 months.

LHC has a slower rate of hydration and achieves the same strength as OPC in 3 months whereas PPC attains the same strength as that OPC but doesn’t take that much time.

Thus LHC is the answer.

PPC is correct. I also agree.

PPC is the correct answer because it has later strength.

I think Portland pozzolana cement is the correct answer.

UDay Teja Reddy said:   9 years ago
I think option D is the correct answer.
