• 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.
