• Abstract:
  This research assessed the applicability of Type IL cements satisfying AASHTO M
  
  240 specifications for use in transportation applications in place of Type I/II
  
  cements which satisfy AASHTO M 85 specifications for construction of
  
  transportation structures. Type I/II and Type IL cements from five producers were
  
  investigated. The cements and both mortars and concretes made with these cements
  
  were studied to determine material characteristics; material properties including
  
  setting time, strength development, shrinkage, and permeability; and mechanical
  
  properties. The results showed the performance of concrete made with Type IL
  
  cement was affected by the cement fineness which increased strength and drying
  
  shrinkage. Type IL cement may be used in place of Type I/II cement when fineness
  
  values are specified.
